I kinda hate saying this, but Microsoft (or at least github) got it right in a week. Some OSS publishers also got it right, like nexedi, and some i'm sightly upset with (gitlab) but it is true that for the commercial internet it seems to be invasive. I do not use the commercial internet much, and like any person with greasemonkey, i took a rainy afternoon to remove the most annoying banners (i think now i use a plugin that does it for me).
The fact that you have to use a plugin or other thecnical remedies to fix the cookie banner situation is all the proof we need to see that the EU totally fucked up. It is easy to declare that you just need to install this or that to get a obstruction-free internet again. But it is also very very elitist. Not even 1% of the population is truly capable of handling that.
I use a plugin to block ads. That it also block most cookie consent banner is a positive side effect. It does not block all of them. It doesn't block gitlab banner, or EU website banners, because i think it automagically block cross domain js injection, which, you know, is good because less attack surface, and every browser should do the same without plugin (CORS do not go far enough imho).
