I usually go to reject-all immediately (actually being able to reject-all some sites takes some practice, you may end up hooking some quick javascript in the devtools to reject each buttons when they don't give you a reject-all button, *SIGH*), unless I am especially disinterested in the page's contents (why I end up here? maybe a misleading search result leading to a crappy, SEO optimized page), in which case I close it too.

Its very disappointing to see what was probably a worthwile initiative end up in laws that produce this and do little to nothing to address the original concerns.

At least it _should_ give you a change to click that "X" before being tracked, but that is doubtful too, and the fact that the web has become (yet) more annoying as a result isn't.
