Perhaps a solution is for websites to have to request authorization to run javascript/wasm on browsers (enforced by the browser). It will allow legitimate uses of client side code, while eliminating the vast majority of abuses.

I wonder if it is also not how GDPR should have been implemented. Forcing browsers to implement a request for storing tracking data, which would avoid dark patterns in consent forms and would keep websites honest. It would also allow to remember the decision. If you delete cookies when the browser closes, you get asked for the same consent you denied on every visit.
