> If a site requires a GDPR tracking pop-up
Not sure I understand that particular hill for dying on. If they aren't legally required to give you a choice, they're just going to be tracking you unconditionally.

Maybe for most sites, but not for most site visits, since people mostly visit just a few large sites that are too big to ignore the law.
GDPR is great, sites should be required to ask to track. But if they start asking, most sites, I’d rather just leave.
They'd rather filter sites that track in the first place.
Sure today, in a world that developed without that, that would remove most of the internet, but so what?
That just means their principle vs practical set point lands on a different part of the scale than you, but so does everyone's vs everyone else's.
It's a great idea to imagine, if that were somehow possible and the norm, would it still be most of the internet? Would good old unprincipled pragmatic market forces not result in most sites somehow finding a way to be in front of everyone's eyes?
