Its not perfect, but it works so well that every time it doesnt work, I sort of stare at the screen, waiting for it to do its thing, for a good 10-15 seconds, before snapping out of it and realising I need to do something. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Lumidaub@feddit.org 9 points 2 days ago (1 child) Same.

I thought it was something worse, so put on my shoes and walked over to his place, opened the laptop and... it was a cookie prompt lol. In his defense, it was in English and he doesnt really understand English very well. But goes to show how great consent-o-matic works, heh. permalink fedilink source parent [–] chris@l.roofo.cc 2 points 1 day ago AFAIK there is a proposal to make that browser option a reality. There was a setting once but edge made it default on and then everyone was like "well then we gonna ignore it". permalink fedilink source parent
