Sometimes, when faced with button choices "OK" and "Maybe Later", I open devtools and relabel the latter to "Fuck off" before clicking on it. I used to think it futile, but now I understand that this allows me to dismiss the modal without myself being pushed by a button.

I find it so offensive being given only two choices - "yes" or "maybe later". I salute your "fuck off" energy.
On Temu there is a dialog that asks you "Yes" or "Maybe later." If you click "Maybe later" it pops up again and the only button to dismiss the modal is "Next time".
Someone should immediately make a cloud to butt like extension out of this.

>I'm sitting here like I'm in an Apple commercial or Square or Swipely or some bullshit tech thing, instead of "OK" I'm clicking "Got it!". Like [obnoxious surfer voice] "Ok, Got it! Got it!". That's how I acknowledge menus in the computer. That's how, when it becomes total Brave New World life, your torturers -- you're gonna have to acknowledge your -- "You've been assigned 10 hours of genital torture." "Ok, Got It!"

Should turn that into a tiny CSS extension that relabels all "maybe later"s into a fuck off.
