If you’re believed to be a EU resident, you’re granted associated user protections.

I want a chrome plugin that GDPRs the shit out of websites and enforces maximum privacy on any website I visit.
This is an unrealistic expectation. You signed a legal contract when you signed up for an account stating that you're a-okay with them using your data.
The last time I logged in, I found that the following have uploaded information about me to Facebook’s ad targeter:
* my car’s manufacturer
* charities I donated to
* political campaigns (red and blue)
* some of my banks
* random pop music groups I have never heard of (thanks, spotify(?))
* my preferred pizza delivery company
and at least three dozen others.
As far as I can tell, this behavior will soon be illegal in Europe.
