Just saying. Most sites are like this, you actually click through, and it's a loooong list of companies.
The web is terrible without adblocks now. It's everywhere, some sites it's literally every other paragraph, and then a video that appears over content and more.
The latest version of this privacy stuff actually requires them to show the number of vendors on the first page. So "We and our 1332 partners" instead of "we and our partners". Makes this funnier
@gamingonlinux Not only the web, I have a samsung monitor that has the "smart" option. In order to activate the samsung free TV service, it has 1300 "advertising providers", if you don't accept it, every time you start that application, it asks you again to accept it.
I am old enough to recall when the yellow pages, for listing for things like locksmiths or plumbers, was 10 pages of display ads and 1/4 page of listings but at least ads on paper can be skimmed over at will
@gamingonlinux As dumb as it sounds, some parts of the web are way more enjoyable with text-only browsers.
Of course there are also plenty of websites that don't work in text-only browsers - or, in other words, that give the middle finger to visually impaired users.
@gamingonlinux Double down harder. I use uBlock Origin, LocalCDN, ClearURLS, Bypass Paywalls (Firefox/Chrome) Clean, Web Archives, Image Search, Sponsorblock and for specific sites an enhancer extensions like Enhancer for Youtube, Old Reddit Redirect, Reddit Enhancement Suite, and auto clicker. IF that is what it takes to get a good experience online, then so be it. Haven't seen an adblock blocker message in a long time since bypass paywalls clean blocks annoying malicious JavaScripts.
@gamingonlinux And so many don't have the "Reject All" button, and have that horseshit "Legitimate Interest" thing that means "We have a legitimate interest in spying on you, please don't stop us"
@gamingonlinux "Look, we value your privacy enough to tell you which companies will get your data. We even give you the option to manually opt out of LeGItIMaTE inTErREst 57 times. Aren't you grateful?"
@gamingonlinux I've switched to clearing cookies/history/cache on exit and whitelisting trusted domains because I don't think uBlock + pihole is sufficient.
