This website is not trustworthy and doesn't respect GDPR as it redirects to https://guce.advertising.com/collectIdentifiers?sessionId

Engadget, stop this nonsense and change the responsibilities of the team who decided to put this into production.

I'm not sure why you were downvoted, I hate sites where the only option to "do you want to be tracked?" is "yes" too.

There's always the ctrl-w option. It seems better that you have to consent rather than them just assuming you consent since you opened a link.

That is usually what I resort to.

Yes, but one of the two is completely illegal, and the other is slightly illegal.

While I fully agree with this sentiment generally, I wonder what people think of NPR and WaPo in comparison (both give much less choice than Engadget).

I seem to see this complaint on every Verizon-property article posted, but NPR and WaPo get excused?

I wonder is it just a UX difference?

European here, the NPR plain text site is a joy to use and I consider it one of the best and most compliant solutions, If I accidentally click a WaPo link I just navigate away from the paywall. Same with TechCrunch.

I agree. I can read NPR. uMatrix prevents that website from loading at all, so I never read the article.

A noticeable chunk of the Internet is now inaccessible to me, and I believe it's actually not for the worse...

Probably that decision was a c-level one, overruling at least the objection of the developers.
