I'm mildly surprised cookie consent banners are only at 20%, given how often I come across banners who's only option is "Yes, I consent"

[mjevans]

I block the entire element, and if moderate actions aren't enough will frequently just move on to other search results.

I've found more often than not they can just be ignored?

Me too. If I ignore or decline, then the next pageview will show the same banner. It's nuts, but I guess it's new normal.

Then fight fire with fire. Remove the banner.
