The question is how would you regulate browsers? I would personally hate any regulation that government would try to do for software, because we know that the next thing they would do is ban encryption. No browser/IETF member would voluntarily do this for sure, not even firefox.
- pembrook 5y agoFirefox, safari, etc. already have pretty advanced anti-tracking and privacy features in place. If you care about that sort of thing, you use those browsers and automatically make all cookie popups irrelevant. After that they simply turn into pure annoyances. And no regulation was needed at all, since the free market has already satisfied those customer wants and found the optimal solution for all parties. Legislation should be the absolute last resort to a problem that has proved otherwise unsolvable. This was not one of those problems.
