In Europe, yes. User hostile ad-tech is forced to opt-out of those markets.

Also there are a lot of websites not meeting GDPR rules but major sites do even if it is block all visitors from Europe - cookie consent rules are also broken by many but that is an different law.

Usual problem with laws who enforces them.

No it hasn't. All I've noticed is that I get more pop-ups than ever before and some of the sites I would like to visit block me with a 451 error code.

Phone browsing is a nightmare these days.
