Summary
Consent banners for online privacy are often poorly implemented, leading to confusion and distrust among users. Despite a general dislike of them, companies continue to increase their use. The privacy-oriented browser, Brave, blocks consent notices altogether as it believes flushing the entire system is the most privacy-assuring way. NOYB, a privacy activist group, has filed over 700 complaints against non-compliant banners in the EU, leading to improvements in the quality of consent banners.

Source: User Driven UI
Summary
A new user-driven UI approach uses natural language processing to allow the user to pull UI features when needed. It is a non-intrusive way of providing educational content, collecting data, and informing users about unavailable features. However, it may hide some functionality, leading to users not reaching maximum value.
