@gruber These cookie prompts ruined the web.

@simonbs @gruber you know they don’t *have* to present these to their users. They just choose to design their website in a way that harvest user data. And they are forced to expose it when they do. EU legislation didn’t ruin the web. The web did that on its own.

@selsoe @gruber The EU legislation didn’t change a damn thing except make the web more cumbersome to use.

@simonbs @gruber I agree that not enough sites value user experience over data harvesting. And I am super annoyed by those prompts, just as much as everyone else. EU could fix it by making it a browser setting that sites should adhere to.

we had that, but sadly the "Do not Track" option was widely ignored
