Hush – Noiseless Browsing for Safari
GDPR in Europe is what started it all. The law says that you must get explicit user consent for all kinds of data tracking.<p>However it doesn't say how that should happen.<p>The annoying banners are completely a decision the industry has made. It's so weird to me that pretty much everyone adopted a near identical way to implement this. It also feels like retaliation -- a way to punish users by making these banners as disruptive as possible, and then blame it on regulations.  It's like companies would rather destroy the web than give in and actually make it better.
