Despite using adblock the web does feel like this nowadays. It would be fantastic if we could have a common protocol for communicating our agreement/disagreement with these things instead of having to bat them away like whack-a-mole wherever we end up on the web.<p>Going back 15-20 years ago there was an embryonic standard for this that didn't seem to get enough traction, I remember it as something like 'PPP' privacy something protocol, but it seemed a bit too heavyweight. If I remember correctly you could use different personas.<p>I would love this all just to be a browser preference.
