I can't speak for OP but I would do it to the end it demonstrates how frustrating these 'small inconveniences' actually are. Don't interrupt my workflow unnecessarily. The same reason I don't want adverts everywhere, or I use sponsor block for youtube. I didn't seek out advertisements so I can filter it out.

I am not seeking out AI features so I don't add them to my browser. Mozilla and google and everyone it seems now is forcing it everywhere down our throats. If a small grain of sand reflects any of the same frustration, I say good. Wish I could do more.



Exactly, in my case I have the hidden disability of schizotypy which makes it harder for me to ignore things. If you are blind or dyslexic or have ADHD or any kind of cognitive problem you just don't need to have your spoons wasted by having dialogs cover content and user interface elements that you need to complete your tasks.


I'd just like to say, I'm somewhat diagnosed for anxiety and some adhd in Europe so it's a bit more loose, I never consider it or even medicate much. But this has made me think about the tiny things that throw me. And just now I found the perfect example. My TV. I removed all netflix, prime Disney etc. But as I'm watching YouTube which I'm prone to do to chill out. I sit on the remote. The remote had a netflix button, TV decides I need to install in, automatically, referral cookies loaded and my TV from my video I'm watching, to sitting on the remote, has netflix in my face asking me for money. Just happened AGAIN.
