I find less and less I want to use the internet to browse sites anymore.
Not just because of these dark patterns, but usability is messed up. The web should be redesigned to force standards compliant requiring websites to allow a “no script” support where you just go for information.
Cookies are not even remotely the largest problem on the fucked UX web we have today. It’s less about data delivery and ubiquity of the original WWW concept and more about “how do we force users to stay on our platform” or “how do we extract data on our users and sell it to the highest bidder.”
They also need to pass laws forcing companies who sign up users for services to have a graceful way to sign down and delete their account instead of these stupid cookie banners.
