I happened to click a link that took me to the associated twitter X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it’s nothing new. I’ve got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What’s the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you’ve encountered recently?

    If they don’t allow you to reject in two clicks then they’re violating the EU regulation.

      I wish I could get my EU representatives to act on those! Oh right, I live on a different continent in a country that lets businesses run amuck

      I’m aware of that, but I’m just pointing out many websites do not give you the consent options as stated above which imo are much more annoying.

        Ah, fair enough then.
