Agree, this needs to be seriously enforced. Web browsing is a PITA now with all these popups that only have an "I Accept" box with no way to dismiss the notification otherwise. Usually I just close the tab.

Luckily they're usually poorly implemented and you can just "Inspect Element" + delete. Although, in saying that, given the lack of official opt-out functionality, using the site will probably result in tracking.

  Wasn't the point (or at least one of them) of the GDPR that the consent was to be opt-in?

    Yes. So if they track you after you delete their consent overlay, you'd have grounds to complain about them to your data protection agency.

Since so many companies seem to be outsourcing these popups, possibly because they're enrolled in some ad-network cooperations, I wonder if it would be possible to build a browser extension that would automatically submit these forms with everything set to "no consent".
