It’s definitely made browsing the open web a worse experience. There should be global opt in/out.

There was, the ad agencies either ignored it, or worse used it as an additional signal.

They should not be. That there is people willing to give their data to big corporations and foreign countries by extension puts everybody at risk. It is a matter of national security and it should not be allowed, no opt in option.

Woof. How about we let users decide, thanks.

Companies made browsing the web a bad experience, not GDPR.

This sentiment is so widespread I'm starting to wonder if it's astroturfed by anti-GDPR lobbying.

Yeah that’s me, I’m funded by the anti-GDPR lobby. Still waiting on my check.
