Install privacy badge, turn on “automatically send do not track” and those things all just melt away when you go to a new site as it processes almost all sites automatically.

Is it possible to do this on mobile phone browsers?

Yup, that’s where it’s the most valuable to not have to drag fingers around and whatnot, easier if you needed to deal with popup on PC with mouse and keyboard and whatnot.

The “do not track” is really just you asking them politely not to track you, they are not obligated to stop tracking…more often than not, it is completely ignored and they track you anyway.

…and the request itself can be used as a data point for tracking.

California’s regulations have teeth but there are some exclusions and exemptions, I guess like most laws it’ll only be followed if suing and getting damages is easy and results made public.

I trust they’ll do a good job focusing on privacy rather than outright going back to “no banner, cookies for everyone!”

Can’t wait until 28 when people realize how nice cell phones used to be.

A major political entity admitting mistake and correcting based on feedback. How refreshing.
