Flashback to the time I got the rudest, most hypocritical response from a cookie banner

"We respect your right to privacy, and we have built tools to allow you to control sharing of your data with third parties."

Opts-out of sharing my cookies with 3rd parties

"No, Allow Sharing"

The fuck you mean "No"?

For years, I have used DNS-based ad-blockers on both mobile and fixed devices. Today, for the first time, I have surfed the web without any ad-blocker. The world of the web has become an incredible mess. I wonder: how much do all these banners pollute? How much traffic do they generate, how much electricity?
