Why do they still think we want tracking cookies ? The ad industry should prepare for a future with no tracking instead of trying to survive with ever shadier tricks, IMO.

This won't work:

- browsers other than Chrome will say "no tracking" by default, tracking companies won't like that

- websites will ignore this, this will be known and people will be upset even more

- more javascript when we want less

notice that if you disable javascript by default most cookie banners disappear and everything becomes better. Then you can enable it per-site if you need something in particular.

You should check out uMatrix to get even more fine grained control over sites.

I usually allow images on every page, that's it. Some need CSS, some need iframes, and a small subset of websites I visit are actual webapps that need javascript.

I love uMatrix but development on it has stopped so it won't receive bug fixes and it will probably stop working someday. I don't think I would recommend new users start using it.
