    One time a game asked me to allow cookies, instead of a “deny all” button I had to deny each partner individually. I was standing there disabling every toggle for about 15 minutes because there were 500+ of them.

      Sounds like fandom.com

      Even when disabled at a high level, their sub checks are still there and there are hundred of them. Deceptive BS.

        I don’t even need to worry about the tracking at fandom because they do that stupid “auto play an unrelated video at the top of the screen and once you scroll past it it moves down and perpetually stays on the screen, taking up 30-50% of your mobile screen” so I will always immediately close the page once I see that fucking bullshit

        Truly hostile ui design. Just open disdain for their users. At least it’s muted by default

          If you replace fandom.com with breezewiki.com in the URL, you’ll either get an unfucked version of the page, or you’ll get a redirect to a new wiki site that the fandom actually updates. It’s crazy how fandom doesn’t let communities remove a fandom site, so there are all of these unmaintained and out of date fandom wikis out there.

          EDIT: as a demonstration, here’s what happens when you use breezewiki with the Noita fandom page: https://noita.breezewiki.com/wiki/Noita_Wiki

                Thanks, used this on my laptop.

                On further investigation you can also make this work on iphones with the following app:

                https://apps.apple.com/us/app/redirect-web-for-safari/id1571283503

                it has a subscription but the free version works for this.

                the rules need to be set as:

                DNR type

                Redirect from https://*.fandom.com/wiki/*

                URL pattern wildcard Resource types main_frame

                Redirect to https://breezewiki.com/$1/wiki/$2

                Name it whatever and post a fandom wiki link in the examples section to make sure it works. There are instructions that link to a json file that should open in the app, but it doesn’t. Maybe that worked in 2022 but it doesn’t anymore. Easy enough to input manually at least. Can also use the app to force reddit to redirect to old.reddit by default but multiple rules requires a subscription, I think

          Incredibly hostile design. I generally avoid, but like Reddit they have hostage to some info I desire sometime so wipe my way through it… Close the browser, rm -rf /, and wash my hands.

      I would have written a user-script to find all check boxes and check them automatically.

      Oh, wait, a game? So not a web browser?

        And after I made an AHK script to check all those boxes, I’d make another AHK script to beat the shit out of that game in 10 minutes. If it’s multi-player I’m specifically ruining the fun for others with my cheating. Fuck games like that, fuck companies like that.

        They unknowingly provided me with a completely different game to play.

      Hill Climb Racing did that for me. I tried doing what you did the first time, then it kept sending me that every two days, so I just used Rethink DNS with the block trackers and ads blocklist.
