I can’t believe I had to deal with this! I just opened an article in Firefox on my Android, and the damn site bombarded me with a staggering 912 cookies! 912! And of course, I was forced to accept whatever they call “essential” cookies, or suffer through the nightmare of toggling each one off individually. But here’s the worst part—they weren’t even organized! No, they were scattered everywhere, forcing me to scroll endlessly through this mountain of cookies just to find the few I actually wanted to disable. It’s infuriating! How can anyone tolerate this level of intrusive, irresponsible design? This is an outright invasion of privacy, and it’s sickening!
PS. Apparently I’m not usually angry enough so I used goblin.tools/Formalizer to make it more ranty. Completely my experience, angrified.

Usually I use Safari’s Hide Distracting Elements feature to remove it and move on with my day, but I’ve also got a totally overkill blocking DNS server (as well as the AdGuard browser extension).
As an American I route my internet traffic through Switzerland so 99% of websites gives me a “reject all” option too.

Switzerland, good tip.
