But the argument there is also quite reasonable - the UX of popping up boxes for this stuff is terrible, it annoys people and they just start clicking "Yes" all the time or "no" all the time.

And this is because, while there clearly are good and valid web apps that use this functionality, the web is also a cesspit of abusers who will use any means they can to track, trace and infiltrate.

I don't know what the solution is, suffice to say I haven't really seen a good one yet, and until such time as one comes along I am happy using a browser that either lets me turn this stuff off in a blanket fashion or flat out doesn't include it.

Mildly lower friction on payment apps is not enough of a trade-off
