Ads?
What ads?
I mean, who TF is not running with a proper adblocker and multiple other anti-spyware and anti-malware add-ins in their browser?
I’ve been doing so since 2004, when the first adblocker came out for Firefox. Except for system set-ups of client machines and working on the machines of new clients, I haven’t seen an ad in over 20 years.
Of course, you actually need to be running Firefox to have anything approaching an effective in-browser adblocker… Chrome has massively neutered adblockers into near uselessness.
Seriously, people:
And for those on mobile:
Prettt sure DecentralEyes has been abandoned. I think LocalCDN is the reccomendation now.
I also believe there are ways to configure uBlock Origin to handle referrer stuff, clean links, for smart https stuff, and to handle redirect links as well. Probably something you can do with it for amp links as well.
Also, just know that every extension installed absolutely spikes up your uniqueness to fingerprinting.
Missed Privacy Tweaks, did ya? Look closer.
