in all seriousness, i'll take the contrary opinion, i love targeted ads. saves me time, and there's no way to keep my data private anyway, so i might as well get some value out of it. i wish there were a browser plugin called "please accept all cookies" which would just get rid of the friction, and as a downstream fringe benefit, show me better ads.

This browser extension doesn't work everywhere, but it works some places. You can auto-decline all cookie prompts, or if you're so inclined, auto-accept: https://github.com/cavi-au/Consent-O-Matic
