Or just wait long enough for the EU's digital markets act to take effect. But my point stands.


I can’t wait for the mandated pop ups “did you know you could install a third party App Store” every time you go to the Apple App Store.


What makes you think there will be such "mandated popups"?


EU browser ballot. Cookie consent nags.


Have you heard of the GDPR and seen how it’s made the web browsing experience worse?


Yes, I have heard of the GDPR and in my opinion it has improved/consolidated my digital privacy rights and not affected the "web browsing experience" in any negative way. I believe you are referring to the ePrivacy Directive (aka cookie law). As you may know, it's only mandatory to inform the user when the website is collecting information from the user beyond what is necessary for technical purposes - and in that case I do want the option to refuse that.
