I haven't seen a cookie dialog that toxic in a while...

How so? It's two clicks to reject everything. There aren't even any "Legitimate Interest" shenanigans like Google Funding Choices has.

  I clicked once and couldn't see the button to reject everything... Might be because i'm on a 14" laptop and it didn't fit on screen.

  lol two clicks just to be able to do what you original were doing is terrible.

    Compared to your average site using the Google Funding Choices dialog where I just counted 11 clicks to reject everything. https://tvtropes.org/ https://tvtropes.org/ is an example, if you dare.

  Click on "settings", and be surprised what "accept all" means. Note: each of the tabs on the left has their own "vendors" you may grant access. In total, there are over 800 toggle switches.

It's indeed rare to see the fine-grained item toggles only nowadays. But at least they are all off by default (unless I fell into some sort of dark pattern and misunderstood). Still quite clearly illegal though. Rejecting tracking should be as easy as accepting it.

I recently saw a full screen cookie dialog, like a full blown control panel with a dozen settings. Can't remember which site, but it literally took over the entire page.

Tip: in uBlock Origin settings, enable "EasyList/uBO - Cookie Notices" filters.

  No, I want to reject the cookies not disable the dialog. Consent-O-Matic does it for most sites but not on this particular type of dialog.

    Under GDPR, sites need your consent (or some other valid legal basis) before they can set the non-required cookies. They are not allowed to first set the cookies, and then let you opt out. Instead, they first need your opt-in, and then they can set the cookies. No banner, no opt-in. There are sites that ignore this requirement – they set tracking cookies on the first visit, before you've even seen the dialog. Consent-O-Matic could potentially be better in those cases, assuming the "Reject All" button actually works. There are also sites where the "Reject" option is intentionally or unintentionally broken. PS. One of my hobbies is to track sites in my country that set non-required cookies on first visit, and contact them asking to fix it. And escalate to the local DPA if they refuse or don't respond. I made a little script that checks a list of sites nightly: https://github.com/cuu508/tasting-party https://github.com/cuu508/tasting-party One reason for re-checking regularly is regressions – somebody fixes their site, then two months later the problem is back... Over a year, the list of problematic sites has shrunk from 300-400-something to ~100, so there's progress :-)

A lot of useless choice right there.

You don't understand! You can't write a dozen sentences that "may" have been generated by AI without selling your browsing history to 800 different companies!
