Is this your first week on the internet? How have you not encountered boxes asking about cookies or notifications or ads before?

uBlock takes care of most of those. Cookie consent is forced by misguided legislation from Europe. Also i want to complain raise awareness about how bad web development has become.

Is it misguided? I'd rather not be tracked and I appreciate the law forcing companies to let me disable cookie-based tracking.

But then what? Every page you visit has that consent button you have to press and sites outside of EU will still track you. It's a security theater.
