Some glaring omissions[edit]

No mention of the fact that the system is opt-out, in violation of the GDPR. Also no mention of the fact that the opt-out requires manual intervention for dozens of companies, and those that are "automatic" often don't work.

Then you need to repeat the whole process in every browser you use on every device you own. Oh, and if you clear your cookies, you have to start all over again.
