    Web browsers should be mandated by law to display privacy warnings – like the messages on cigarette packs – on sites that are known to include third-party trackers as well on the sites/apps of people farmers like Facebook and Google that directly harvest and monetise data.

        That would be a page-long warning on some sites...

        GDPR doesn’t have a requirement for browsers to warn against tracking.

        Laws is made with interest to protect some group too. We need people making software that do It like duckduckgo to not depend any government. There is much corruption in Gov to believe they do not adapt the law to prorect they friend companies.

        http://disconnect.me  is a good plugin that does this for me. Should be built-in.

        Definitely could be done via a browser extension. Just have to determine what scripts are running from where... Might be a good little side project.

        sounds like at least a nice browser extension idea?

        I was thinking the same thing. Only thing is people that will download it probably have other extensions to block this kind of thing or have brave installed.

        Keep your laws to yourself. If the browsers do it because it's a good idea, then good. But the gooferment will mess everything up once they get started.
