If you'd like to get a rough feeling on how well your ad-blocking strategies are (uBlock Origin, Pi hole, AdGuard, AdNauseam, ...), give this test tool a try:

https://d3ward.github.io/toolz/adblock.html

My block rate is 98%

(still need to figure out how to squeeze out more, and finally get the Pi hole set up here locally as well)

We wish that blocked the Like button on websites.

Truth be told we wish that there was a warning system that one could enable in the that simply checks the of sites to warn when a site is served by (scAm)azon, Akamai, Goo', Micro-shaft, Cloud(G)lare, Oracle, F'book, TwxtsiteBuyer, Apple, Alibaba and Tencent…

…and just simply warn the user of such Digital Colonialism.

A Skype app vulnerability could expose your IP address to hackers — and Microsoft has yet to fix it https://www.theverge.com/2023/8/28/23848823/skype-vulnerability-ip-address-microsoft
