More like big green approve button vs.

"Configure my preferences" -> Untick all the things -> Make sure you click the almost invisible Save button and not accidentally click the big green "Allow All" button.

Horrible. If we can force websites to do this, we should be able to force websites to read my request header NoDamnTrackingCookiesFfs

Probably worth noting that this practice is illegal in the EU. Saying no should be just as easy as saying yes.

However they are very bad at enforcing it, sadly.

And 150 of the 400 "partners" will also have a pre-ticked "legitimate interest" checkbox that you have to untick separately. To me that's an automatic maximum penalty fine, but sadly there is no enforcement.
