Speaking of opting out... as a non-EU citizen, is there any way I can opt out of the EU's internet regulation? Like some flag my browser can send so I don't have to deal with the meaningless cookie/privacy popups?

For some reason people can't get into agreement to use one library that provides consistent way of dealing with this consent. Then you could just automatically close it with some extension, or not even load it at all.

I'm an EU citizen and I've hoped for something similar since the cookie "law". Maybe a callback that gets fired when the consent popup appears and then a browser extension could hook into that and automatically accept.

Edit: replied to an out of date tab, another poster commented the same idea.

Maybe if there was a browser feature providing an API for marketing consent.
