Browser-Supported Signals as a replacement for Consent Management Platforms

Can you even remember the days when the internet was clutter-free?

(You are reading a GenAI-free article, solely relying on auto-correct for some expressions and typos.)

During our debate last week (live recording session, NYC) we speculated about the potential of built-in browser signals to give us all back the smooth internet browsing experience we once enjoyed.

We definitely seem to be getting closer, but I wonder whether by the time we manage to properly address all of the possible legal scenarios (through user-controlled tools, as opposed to website-specific banners) the entire effort will be rendered futile by a higher, all-encompassing level of automation that condemns websites, interfaces, and even browsers, to obsolescence.
