@phoefer@suma-ev.social Hmm...it says "might break sites". And I still get the popups. It shouldn't break sites and it should prevent all cookie popups. It needs to be done with legislation.

@ravachol@social.vivaldi.net @phoefer@suma-ev.social the best cookie is the one that I never set.

@ravachol@social.vivaldi.net yeah, that option just makes the browser ignore all attempts of the website to set cookies (which is actually allowed by the spec). It's just that no website expects cookies to be disabled so they show a cookie banner as usual. One legislative draft from years ago actually provided a solution to this (forcing websites to honor do-not-track settings from the browser) but lobbying took that out. As for what we can do: Be vocal to websites that we want them to stop using cookie banners.
