i hate seeing people now making fun of those who care about privacy online. i've seen people saying things like "well they already have your data. what are companies going to do with it" and it's like, that's not the point. it's that companies /shouldn't/ be able to have my data and sell it. am i aware they probably already have my data? yes, absolutely. but i'm still going to try and keep them from monetizing it any further, why are we defending companies selling data they shouldn't have to begin with though?
adding this to the post because, 100%, just there's a fire doesn't mean you should pour gasoline on it
I have like ten different ad and/or tracking blockers on my PC and phone... just out of pure spite
Can link it? I wish to hop aboard that train.
@drunkenbartend
Firefox with build in tracker protection
Ublock Origin adblocker for Firefox
Adguard adblocker for firefox, for everything that gets past Ublock
Mullvad VPN, one of the most reliable, cheapest and safest VPNs at the moment
DuckDuckGo android app that blocks trackers for every app on your phone
DuckDuckGo for firefox for blocking trackers and the likes
SponsorBlock for firefox, skips the sponsor segments of youtube videos
Adaway Adblocker for android (works much better with root access but doesn't require it)
Is there any benefit to using multiple ad blockers at once? I honestly don't know, but I haven't seen a single ad on the internet in ages and I get to use this image:
