For Chromium based browsers... why would the advertising based company make it any easier for users to opt out of advertising. The optimal resolution for Alphabet is users clicking "Accept All" and writing their member of the EU Parliament in frustration.

A risky strategy. There's a moderate chance that the EU comes to its senses and mandates an automated way to opt out of cookies.

Probably not. It will probably be more than a single flag.

And also it has to be something backed by legislation. Do Not Track was a dumb idea because it had no teeth.
