Dear every programmer working on websites and browsers:

I DO NOT WANT TO TRY CHROME.

I DO NOT WANT TO LOG IN WITH MY GOOGLE ACCOUNT.

I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY SEARCH ENGINE BACK TO THE DEFAULT.

I DO NOT WANT TO CHANGE MY SEARCH ENGINE TO YOURS.

I DO NOT WANT TO SHARE MY LOCATION.

I DO NOT WANT TO SUBSCRIBE TO ONE SINGLE NEWSLETTER EVER.

I DO NOT WANT NOTIFICATIONS.

LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE.

In today's #AI #theft #fuckery.
