I guess they don't feel comfortable mandating how open source software is written?

Safari could be mandated to do something like this and honestly I think Apple would be very happy to do it, but it's a bit weirder with Firefox...




I'd say that Firefox would be even on board with the idea (weird they haven't proposed it themselves).

Besides - EU could create a law saying: "website should obey browser setting and if such setting is not present allow user to consent to tracking"


That's a good start for sure. And when Safari and Firefox implement it instantly, and if Chromium rejects a PR for it, then can make it a law.
