Was that one mandated by policy though? I don't think it was, it was something browsers wished websites would adopt, and since they didn't now we've got stupid web elements that are unnecessarily shoved in our faces. Meanwhile tracking people has probably gotten worse and worse over the years (for the consumer). What I'm proposing is if we're going to legislate the web, make it smarter and intuitive. Unfortunately the people writing these laws rarely get feedback from people who actually build websites or care about end-users.
