That's not completely wrong unfortunately. By now, we have the OS, the browser and individual websites all using dark patterns to some extent, sometimes even against each other - e.g., by now, Windows will nag you if you try to switch to Chrome while Google will nag you if you don't switch to Chrome...
Sometimes it feels like modern UI has become a battlefield between different companies with the only one losing with certainty being the user.
I'm mostly using Firefox and Tor Browser, but there've been numerous disappointments, even there.
