Firefox has that built into its tracking protection. I don't know what's it set to by default, but it took me three clicks to reach the setting.

Or, the website could just not track you and thus not require a cookie banner?

They could, but ultimately they want to track us.

People also want to perform CSRF attacks. So what do we do? Make a law against CSRF? Or change the browsers to make it much harder?

You've just said:

> It's full-on insane to use the law to force every website developer to add their own cookie banner […]

Which is obvious FUD. And this comment now makes it clear that you actually knew that you're spreading FUD.

Hasn't that been a standard browser setting since the 1990s? I remember Netscape had it.
