    Even calling them "cookies" set off all my internal alarms early on. "Teehee this quirky unspecified download is yummy and you should have it. TAKE IT. TAKE IT NOW." lord-bezos-amused

      Tbf originally (in the 90's) they were pretty harmless, mostly used just to store login information etc. but leave it to tech bros to corrupt every useful technology

        That was enough for me to dislike them then. "Gator" and "Bonzi Buddy" even back then proved my dislike was called for.
