EDIT: I didn't realize the anger this would bring out of people. It was supposed to be a funny meme based on recent real-life situations I've encountered, not an attack on the EU.

I appreciate the effort of the EU cookie laws. The practice of them just doesn't live up to the theory of the law. Shady companies are always going to find a way to be shady.

Probably Adguard or Pihole? (Some network level blocking?)

I did have adguard set up, but i disabled it thinking it could help with this issue, which it sadly didn't

Most browsers block some ads by default as well as some other privacy protections nowadays. I'm guessing whatever sites you're hitting have advertisers so scummy they're blocked by default

Might be, might be

I'm using Firefox and might've set a couple of the privacy settings "too high", haven't checked those in forever
