... but still no adblocker for safari
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Many websites implemented the banner because other websites are implementing them. There’s a lot of bandwagons out there.
The EU used the force and threat of law to force everyone to do it.
A bunch of other people just jumped on the bandwagon.
Your mileage may vary but the first 3 websites I opened after installing it: - https://twitter.com/ still shows cookie banner at the bottom - https://botland.com.pl still shows cookie banner at the bottom - https://www.17track.net started showing "You are seeing this message because ad or script blocking software is interfering with this page." at the bottom of the page and asked me to solve a captcha
Is there any work being done to revert the requirements of cookie banners, age consent, etc? These are all utterly pointless and easy to bypass. While we're at it, get rid of the forced "piracy is harmful" ads on every media disc too. Pirates don't actually see these messages, they're stripped out in the final copy, so the actual legal customers are the only one suffering through it as they can't be skipped either wi…

1) ask for consent for personal data you are taking 2) do not take personal data.
The latter is clearly preferable.
It would be great to browse the web without all the noise!

Not sure what you mean, are you missing a specific ad blocker? There are some ad blockers for Safari, both on macOS and on iOS. 1Blocker, AdGuard, Wipr, are examples I know to work well. (Many are paid, though, or have paid “premium” tiers.) Edit: others in this thread also mention Ghostery, KaBlock.
