The internet is broken and I don't think it's only in the EU. In the last years I found myself just avoiding using websites I'm not familiar with or confident they're not filled with ads and trackers, I've set-up some aggregators and custom readers to find and get the information I'm interested in. If I open a page that has the cookie banner that blocks me from reading the content or forces me to agree I just close it, it wouldn't have been that important anyway.
