Just so long as that means killing all the tracking, not just going back to hiding it.

You don't have to have a cookie popup if you don't do stupid stuff. Don't use anything other than strictly necessary cookies and you are good to go.

It is up to the websites to do that, and to the users to boycott those websites showing cookie popups.
