I don't understand what is wrong with the folks over at Mozilla. Are they stupid, or are they taking bribes?

How about an option for, "No, I don't want notifications from any website, ever!"

How about an option for, "Don't auto-play video, including silent video, ever. Not audio either. Never. Just don't."

How about an option for "I know what cookies are. Never, ever warn me about them again. Ever."

I don't know if the devs are just young and inexperienced, or if they are truly brain-damaged, or if they are corrupt and some advertiser said, "Here's a million dollars to leave those notification prompts in, heh, heh, heh".

At this point it's like smoking in movies. There has to be some cigarette maven with a pallet of cash going into the production office on the back lot somewhere, because otherwise why does every young director show all the 'cool' people puffing away on something that's going to waterboard you with COPD for the last 40 years of your life?

Mozilla, we don't want any of that shit. Fuck that shit.
