Designer-developer plying trade at Discovery Institute. Things fall apart. Holding the center.

@BrendanEich @brave @dsearls Brave defeats the Chucs Restaurant notices, but I’m afraid @brave falls victim to the UK gov site, Brendan. For testing: https://t.co/GqBmyanXzM.

It seems most of the Web has succumbed to the absurd safetyism of Brussels, which does little to nothing to increase our privacy while degrading the experience of every website. Cookie consent notices are peak bureaucratic do-somethingism: in your face, costly, ineffective.

@Apple @MercedesBenz @brave @GOVUK @dsearls @Google @BrendanEich @7wData Visiting the UK and as frustrated as I am with the cookie notices in the US, it’s much worse here. Every site and every app, it seems, is papered over with legalese and jargon demanding decisions the user little understands. Just awful. @UKgovcomms

@Apple @MercedesBenz @brave @GOVUK @dsearls @Google @BrendanEich @7wData A kindred spirit, lamenting the "litter", but sadly Brian's sentiments did not win the day, for now. https://t.co/tmxnE0FI4N

Cookie consent notices are really bad regulation - they've littered the web with more popups, wasting all of our time, for something that was not dangerous.

Nice to see extensions coming out which block all of these (just like ad blockers) https://t.co/Mcx3DmRIXc

@BrendanEich @brave @jamesmudgett In MacOS, I have to right click and scroll down to the Autofill --> Passwords, and then once it's open, I have to search for the relevant username/password combo instead of the filtering automatically using the current domain. Maybe I'm missing something.
