You need more than an ad blocker. You need software to prevent tracking.

Browser extensions.

uBlock Origin (much better ad blocker)
Privacy Badger (anti tracking)
HTTPS Everywhere (force the use of encrypted traffic)

All these are open source and free.

This still does not guarantee stopping all tracking, but it helps a lot, and it is much better than just adblock.

Controlled opposition is off the charts in the modern age.


I won’t watch anything on Netflix. It’s the Halfican Channel.
It might be a great documentary. But those sorry Fuggers aren’t getting a single dime of my money!

My feelings exactly.

Use GAB! Now. The solution is not to "fix" algorithms. The solution is to broaden and decentralize ownership of social media.

We can’t connect to the server at ww.gab.com"

Sorry typo.

When the word "Social" is being forced on people anywhere in the world...There is bound to be problems there.

Actually, no I don't.

Time is too precious and life's to short to waste on others' ideas of "must" anythings.

Don't want any restaurant recommendations either.

Not sure how The wording of the recommendation would come off as offensive but .....

Enjoy your favorite restaurant, I’ll keep mine to myself.
