The internet looks so bad right now: most sites I visit have massive warnings asking me if I accept their cookie policies, and many at the same time have an on-page chat widget which creepily knows my email domain and makes noises. Then, I start scrolling and popups appear asking if I'll allow notifications.
It's awful. I can't see the content anymore.
Is there a way to fix this? Ideally, my browser would have settings that tell all websites that:
1) Cookies are fine. Don't ruin your site with popups asking me about it.
2) On-page chat is NOT fine. I don't want to talk to a human, and I especially don't want to talk to a bot.
3) I never want to be prompted to enable notifications on any website, unless I configure them manually.
Maybe there is a way browsers could pass these preferences to all websites... something like standardized "omni-cookies" that apply across all domains? Or use headers?
Does an effort like this exist? Someone needs to fix this!
