That moment of anger and confusion when you install a fresh Firefox and type in "ublock origin" in the address bar and get violated by Google's consent popup. The frustration with yourself because you should've known better as you go to addons.mozilla.org and type your query in yet another search box, setup uBlock Origin, block 3rd party and resist fingerprint, and no single website will ever work correctly again. With Privacy Badger also installed ;p
