If we really cared about tracking and privacy, browsers would just disable 3rd party cookies (or make it easy to disable cookies). It's full-on insane to use the law to force every website developer to add their own cookie banner when we could just change the browser and be done with it.

Or, the website could just not track you and thus not require a cookie banner?

They could, but ultimately they want to track us.
People also want to perform CSRF attacks. So what do we do? Make a law against CSRF? Or change the browsers to make it much harder?

Which is obvious FUD. And this comment now makes it clear that you actually knew that you're spreading FUD.

Firefox has that built into its tracking protection. I don't know what's it set to by default, but it took me three clicks to reach the setting.
