This is a really funny one. I opened The Verge and got the usual GDPR popup, I followed (pretty well hidden) links to the form where you can set your ad preferences and guess what they told me:

You are using Safari which blocks third party tracking cookies. You have to enable third party tracking cookies to be able to disable our tracking cookies.

No shit, Verge. No I won't. I'd rather not read the article.

Say, anyone can recommend a good Safari extension that blocks all the tracking stuff? I don't mean only ad blocking here... all the ad network data that isn't visible as an annoying video or so.

https://github.com/el1t/uBlock-Safari -> uBlock Origin for Safari. It's quite good.

I would love something also for Safari and Chrome that just removed all the 'we value your privacy, press some button' popup that so many sites now have.
