How so? GDPR has done so much for personal privacy, I can't see why you would think it's stupid. It's been a pain to implement when it was introduced, sure, but since then it's pretty much become routine and privacy has become a key value of nearly all (EU) tech companies.
Let alone Mozilla (non-EU) and browser extensions (like ublock) did more for personal privacy than any of the aforementioned laws. And in contrast to creating a "level playing field with Big Tech" they made tech business in the EU a morass of legal insecurities for small businesses while big corps are still happily intruding individual's privacy in ways that our current legal system cannot even cover.
