@daringfireball The cookie ones are probably EU-mandated and sites are too lazy to make EU-specific versions so they show up everywhere (still a stupid implementation…would love to see standard browser settings for these).

What makes dickovers even “dickier” is when you inspect them, e.g. ad-blockers that can select elements; many contain _layers_ and _layers_ of crap HTML to make them hard to block.

Simple policy: if a site pisses me off, I never return. Their content is not that valuable.
