Every big web site in 2024 looks like the sites people warned you not to visit in the 90s

    In europe we have a "reject all" button for cookies and it's fantastic

    Except on news websites that only give you the choice between "subscribe for X€" and "read for free (accept all)". So annoying. Still no idea why that's legal.

    Use I STILL don't care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.

    To my understanding, by using this you accept (all) the cookies... I would like a extension that tries to minimize cookie exposure!

    In most cases, it just blocks or hides cookie related pop-ups. When it's needed for the website to work properly, it will automatically accept the cookie policy for you (sometimes it will accept all and sometimes only necessary cookie categories, depending on what's easier to do). It doesn't delete cookies.

    You're sort of right. Cookie deletion should be available in browser settings right?

    Captcha buster is taking care of the captchas now at least. A robot that proves I'm not a robot. Is this the singularity yet?

    The cookies being pre selected is illegal in the EU. Although I've seen sites that don't care and still enable them by default

    Internet in 2024 (for me):

    1. Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
    2. Confirm you're a human (VPN)
    3. Blank page (noscript)
    4. Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
    5. Page not found (https required)

    The percentage of websites that "just work" with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.
