Please don't force browsers (clients) to fix what's fundamentally a server side (website doing shit with your data) issue.

Browser can choose to respect the cookies (first, or third parties), but ultimately don't force them to do or not do anything.

Forcing 3 companies to change their browsers is a lot easier than forcing millions of shady US businesses to do anything

It would be nice to have browser support for cookie popup that is uniform and not worded differently everywhere. Maybe even a default setting and ability to auto-reject. The popups have ruined the experience.

We sort of have auto-reject, with the Do Not Track header. Which pretty much everyone has decided to ignore, because then people just say no and that's not the result they want.

And behind every popup is a company that decided that ruining your experience was the correct thing to do.

Yes, of course, they want you to think "uugh privacy just means lots of work and popups I'll just click accept"

The problem is that both the client and the server is controlled in large part by Google and they like to optimize the user experience into whatever allows them to sell ads.

Lynx is about the only browser that still notifies you and has you accept each cookie manually.
