Internet in 2024 (for me):
- Service unavailable in your country (VPN)
- Confirm you’re a human (VPN)
- Blank page (noscript)
- Obscure error (fingerprint / cookie blocking)
- Page not found (https required)
The percentage of websites that “just work” with privacy measures in place is depressingly small.

Here in Spain they started making the option to either subscribe… Or accept the ads/tracking…

In europe we have a “reject all” button for cookies and it’s fantastic
Except on news websites that only give you the choice between “subscribe for X€” and “read for free (accept all)”. So annoying. Still no idea why that’s legal.
We also have this glorious extension which just fucks them all off:

Use I STILL don’t care about cookies. That one is owned by Avast nowadays and accepts all cookies which is clearly not what people want.
