I happened to click a link that took me to the associated twitter X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it’s nothing new. I’ve got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What’s the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you’ve encountered recently?

      It’s not just a warning, it’s also an option to reject.

      Some don’t give you an option, but actually have a much cleaner interface imo.

      Whether or not it’s better since you still have to click OK, some don’t let you reject them at all.

        If you can’t reject, they either don’t need the pop-up, or they’re not in compliance with the law. Either way it’s in no way the fault of the lawmakers.

        If they don’t allow you to reject in two clicks then they’re violating the EU regulation.

          I’m aware of that, but I’m just pointing out many websites do not give you the consent options as stated above which imo are much more annoying.
