    Every other website i visit has a different tactic of hiding their reject button.

    They will even give a second pop up leaving you unable to use the website in hopes of you clicking accept anyway.

        I tend to do the same, also for those websites that come with a secondary pop up.

        Makes me feel like they really don’t give a fuck, so why should i then and it’s easy to click back and try the next website in the rows of results.

        The weirdest one i found was a couple days ago and i kinda give them props for it, as it made me go: “woooow almost had me.”

        They had this whole standard wall of text with reasons to get you to accept and i didn’t see thr reject all button. It was a fairly lenghty wall too so i started scanning it for recognizeable words until my eyes passed: “reject” in the text. It was regular looking text but clickable.

      Install once, go to a website, wait a few seconds, ans it rejects all those 1273 “partners” for you, together with clicking every hidden “reject” button, so you don’t have to
