The problem isn't lack of a solution, we've had DNT for years. It's that the people who want to track you generally don't want to make it easy for you to opt out.

Yes, this will need legislative backing. We had the GDPR since the DNT.

I also just discovered the GPC which seems more interesting: https://globalprivacycontrol.org

Actually, GPC support is required in CPRA. CPRA, if you're not familiar, is the California privacy law.
