To deal with that, right click on "Inspect element", mouse upwards until the whole popup is selected, and click "Delete Node".
this solution is absurd, do you understand?

Isn't that effectively a legal requirement? That users must make some sort of actual confirmation step to acknowledge the terms for them to be legally enforceable? I mean, look at my submission/comment history, I'm literally the voice of Google criticism on this website. But it's hard to see how this little diversion has to do with pop-up ads. It's not advertising, first and foremost.
I don't know of any websites that force me to agree to a privacy policy so I can access it while logged off.

It works. You can get rid of many annoying pop-ups and overlays that way. It even works on dumber paywalls.
Does this mean they'll get rid of their own popup ad: Get to Google faster. Switch your default search engine to Google. Yes, show me. There's not even a "No" option. (Google is my default search engine. I just have their tracking blocked, so they can't check this. Lame.)

I understand that this instance is seen as a net positive for the end user, but Google should not have the power to force websites to conform to whatever Google decides is the new standard, or become irrelevant. The end user should be deciding what is and isn't worthwhile content, or where to shop,…
Your business is dependent on Google for traffic. You can embrace it and be beholden to platform rules, or you can build a direct audience and brand. The latter is hard but more defensible and there are many case studies to follow of other companies doing this.
Google is very concerned about ads that visually block text content. But somehow forcing ads in front of videos on YouTube isn't the same exact thing? Both force an ad to be looked at before granting you access to the content you came for. I don't get the distinction.
