A better solution would be to force sites to care about the Do Not Track browser setting that currently does nothing as told by the browsers themselves.

Exactly this. The goal of requiring explicit cookie consent/refusal is admirable, but the implementation of cookie banners is both useless and terrible. We already have a way to communicate to websites whether we're alright with cookies or not, they're called HTTP headers.
