> This is such a waste of time to do this for every single site!

That's your opinion. But it works for me and doesn't take much time at all to wield.

> Especially when it's easier to rely on the password manager in cases like this

Passwords aren't the only thing this helps guard. Password manager won't prevent the site from loading in the first place. So if that site delivers malware then your password manager won't help you.



That's your opinion that it works for you, but more importantly, that it would work for others instead of teaching them to automatically click "yes" after clicking a link to a site they want to visit after having to do this hundreds of times for all those hundreds of sites they had to visit before, so a supposedly big red flag could be nothing more than one of those brown cookie gdpr annoyances
