    It’s always been like that, they just didn’t use to have to ask.

      Forcing these popups in our faces was punishment for fighting back during the battle for the internet. We lost, and the elites shoved insulting disruptive messages in our faces to remind us of our failure every time we browse. I was so disappointed.

    I miss the time when not every cookie was a tracking cookie and they actually functioned as intended instead.

      And Consent-O-Matic to never see another cookie popup and Cookie AutoDelete to delete any that get through

        I use UBO’s built-in cookie-popup blockers. I believe it’s off by default

        cookie auto delete isn’t necessary you can set firefox to not remember cookies anyway ubo also has filter lists go remove cookie popups though it doesn’t catch all of them so I won’t say consent o matic is unnecessary but I don’t use it and I very rarely see a cookie popup

    I hate that they’re called cookies. Cookies are supposed to be great! Cooties would be a better word. Or AIDS.
