Brave browser to start blocking annoying cookie consent banners

The same happened with Google and Youtube. They used to have pop-ups with large and obvious "Accept" button and a clicking game if you wanted to reject tracking. The EU put a pressure on them and now the popups have two equal "Reject" and "Accept" buttons.

The current situation is still a problem. If you disable cookies, you get the banner every single time.

The law should outlaw that behavior so that people can continue to conveniently block cookies. Google is an ad network and controls chrome. They could come up with a universal opt out (like X-DO-NOT-TRACK) that works with such a law.

It's up to your user agent what it displays and which cookies to store. It's the user agent that needs to change to stop bugging you. That's what brave are doing

My point is that Brave shouldn't have to do this.
