Is accepting cookies really a choice anymore?

Every day, millions of people click "Accept All" just to get rid of a banner and continue browsing.

But is that really consent, or simply the easiest way to access a website?

I'm building Refuse to Share, a free Chrome extension that automatically rejects non-essential cookies when it can safely identify the right option.

Tomorrow, October 14, I'm launching it on Product Hunt! 🚀

But the idea behind it goes further than blocking cookies.

I believe businesses have legitimate reasons to collect data, and users should be able to enjoy their services. The challenge is finding a fair balance where sharing data is a conscious decision, not the result of frustration or confusing interfaces.

I'm curious: do you think cookie consent is genuinely working for users today? And what would you change?
