Again, this should have been a >browser feature< instead of a website feature. I trust Safari and Firefox WAY MORE than I trust the website's owners to actually block cookies and protect privacy, as well as implement this in a better UX.
The proper way to have done this would have been to go to the W3C or WHATWG and proposed an extension to HTML for sites to define an opt-in manifest or something similar.

More like a content blocker. The websites can ask, but there's not guarantee the user will accept. Really no different than browsers asking to show popups beforehand.
