Dickovers are annoying -- tell me, what's your solution? For me, a combination of a) not patronizing these sites, but when I have to b) some ad blockers help. Nothing seems to work well though.
My personnal solution to this is CTRL+W.

#112I was thinking it would be nice if you could at least drag the popup out of the way so you could delay reading it while you first focus on what’s underneath. But then I realized, that would technically be a dick move.

Thanks, Europe!
This whole cookie dickover concept is malicious compliance. The goal was: no tracking but ask consent if you must ("who would do this, that would be super annoying"). Except every website decided they'd rather annoy everyone.

A properly informed person would've understood that's what they'd do. They'd also probably realize cookies are not a big deal.

You don’t see the article?
It's kinda hilarious that on an article about said "dickovers", the page has one of these consuming 80% of the screen real estate: https://files.catbox.moe/ztjg15.png

#117Thank you, I got a good laugh out of that. My experience was probably exactly as intended. Click on the "What is a dickover?" link trying to come up with things that it might be. And a brief moment after the page loaded (this little pause is crucial) I am hit in the face with a big annoying popup saying "This is a Dickover" followed by immediate understanding. Now at least I know what to call it the next time I visit…
I was afraid it would be a new kind of henway.

...You thought a dickover would be about three pounds?
Re: What Is a Dickover?
#119If you zoom websites to be able to read them, like I do.
Then these are especially frustrating because I have to zoom out to find the close button. Its a chase every time, and sometimes I give up.
How are these allowed to exist when there are the EU Web Accessibility Directive ?

I’ve observed a few sites that now display two options, ‘Yes’ and ‘Reject and pay’
