I do not install apps on my phone regardless if whatever that means and I do not browse from my phone. It might be time to just make a git repo of all the sites that participate in this weird fascistic behavior and block them in uBlock until the governments stand up and say pop i.e. pull their head out of their ass. Anything other than RTA [1] headers is a non starter for me.

The only thing governments should be doing is legislating that apps commonly used by small children be required to look for the RTA header and trigger parental controls if the device owner enabled them. That's it. Not perfect, nothing is or will be but it's more than we have now, does not leak PII and utilizes existing laws that already apply to parents.
