How are they supposed to ask for consent then?
(and frankly, the number of users that actively want to consent to this is essentially zero)
I always constent to cookie popups so the number can not be 0.
People always comment that the internet is "so much nicer" after I install uBlock Origin on their browsers. It's just better, they can't explain why. They don't need to. I know why.
The fact is nobody wants this crap. Ads are nothing but noise in our signal. They're spam. They're content we did not ask for, forced upon us without consent. They do not improve the "experience", at best its impact is minimized.
It absolutely will happen if you install uBlock Origin.
