When the Global Privacy Control (gpc) is set, websites should not show a banner and should default to opt-out. If companies followed this (and some do: https://imgur.com/a/kKkiaVm https://imgur.com/a/kKkiaVm), this wouldn't be as necessary. But alas, Consent-O-Matic is a cool tool for the present

> Global Privacy Control Notably, the popular mainstream browsers haven't implemented this and so you need an add-on for it. Irritating.

  For both Firefox and Brave, you don't need any add-ons or extensions. For Firefox, you can enable GPC in `about:config`. You'll want to flip `privacy.globalprivacycontrol.functionality.enabled` and `privacy.globalprivacycontrol.enabled` both to `true` For Brave, GPC is enabled by default. You can test your browser by going to https://globalprivacycontrol.org https://globalprivacycontrol.org. It'll tell you at the top of the page if you have GPC turned on.

    Right, I didn't say all browsers, just the popular mainstream ones. Safari, Chrome of any kind, including Edge.

      Depending on your country, FF counts as mainstream on Desktop. Hi from Germany ;)
