> The practical effect of GDPR seems to me that I have to click away about half a dozen consent popups every day. Sometimes a cookie warning in addition to that.

At this point I just want those consent forms to be standardized via ARIA tags or whatever so that some extension can click the "yea, sure, whatever" button for me.



That would be fine. But honestly I do the opposite. If I start seeing popups and prompts I just close the tab and move on. The internet is too big and your content just isn't that special.


Me too. So that I could click the "reject all" button, having also marked the "save as default preference" checkbox, and be done with it forever.

Integration of legalese into browsers should have been done a long time ago (another useful thing would be a "ToS" button in the address bar, so you don't have to go hunting for ToS and privacy statements, and read them in whatever painful CSS flavouring the site uses).
