- wyattpeak 5y agoHuh, I didn't know that, I'd wondered why so many sites defaulted them all to unchecked. Fastly's one seems a pretty dark-patterned in general, throwing up a primary-styled "allow all" button (and simultaneously pushing the switches out of view) if you disable one of the options.
- imoverclocked 5y agoI now pre-judge a site based on its styling of checked/un-check-all functionality. Things that try hard to make me check all (or hard to uncheck stuff) immediately seem skeezy.
