   The thing that makes browserengines interesting & unusual to design from a UX perspective is the notion of consent. Usually we're all about making things easier & more streamlined, but here I actively strive to bias users away from consent. To ensure when they do say "yes" it is enthusiastic.

   Helps to be a middleman!

   Confirmation dialogs are traditional but worthless (except for consent-theatre), they annoy people into agreeing. I need to be more clever & considerate!

     So the only time I let pages send network requests is upon loading a page. Upon activating links, form submissions, etc.

     Form submissions represent consent to upload the entered data. POST submissions represents consent to save cookies.

     Folding consent into requesting an action is the optimal strategy!

     Also placing buttons out-of-the-way where there's no pressure to click them, & careful wording, are also good strategies!
