    Missing the whole point. Companies will not stop serving ads or selling data. Setup custom dns from somewhere like nextdns or a private pihole computer on your network. It works in windows, can get a micro pc from eBay or Amazon for <$150, then block ANYTHING you don’t like.

    I don’t see ads at all anymore at home, in fact it’s jarring when a page takes 2x time to load because of ads and shit.

    Get these plugins at bare minimum: Ublock origin Sponsorblock Bitwarden or similar (not LastPass) for strong password management.

    Stop crying about companies and take some steps to protect yourself.

          If you’re just going to complain, then just stfu and move on. There are a number of fixes that anyone who can follow directions can implement.

          If you’re complaining but doing nothing to fix it, you’re wasting your time.

      That’s not going to stop Reddit from tracking your interactions with their site if you use it. They will sell your activity to whoever wants it. Updoots, posts read, subscriptions, saves - all potentially valuable data about a potential customer’s interests.

      jfc do not use LastPass. They have a proven track record of shitty security practices and multiple breaches.

      1password, bitwarden, keeper, even chrome but not LastPass.

        We have also KeePass for a local/non-internet solution
