My comment was in reaction to the article, which suggests that the browser shall act as a "privacy guardian", which I believe is already the case. It is also kind of ironic that the article suggests a technical solution to a legal problem, arguing that a legal solution doesn't work (consent fatigue, DNT, ...) and then suggests legislating on it. I wasn't implying that ad blockers are a substitute for GDPR, which goes way beyond cookies and things that can be done at the browser level.
