Ain’t that the truth!
Current EDC,
Mozilla Firefox with:
- uBlock Origin
- SponsorBlock for Youtube…
- Dark Reader
- Video Background Play fix
Anyone have any other recommendations or better systems?
You could level up by adding uMatrix and plug any and all leaks of data, not just the big ones like ads and cookies. But then you’re a bit into control freak territory.
Clickbait remover for YouTube, Now with the new YT anti adblock policy with nasty Popups, Adblock Plus works better in YT than uBO to avoid this crap. You also can watch most YT videos sandboxed in Andisearch or on desktop with SMPlayer (Right click on the player and paste YT link in “Open > URL”). If you have an Google account, you can opt out your YT subscriptions and playlist (deselect all other in the list) and export this to Odysee (online service from IMDB), which is IMHO the best alternatve to YT (better are PeerTube and other decentralized streaming services, but not if you prefer a decent amount of videos)
I setup Adguard home on a rpi4 and run all our devices through its dns with all filters enabled ( Probably overkill tbh).
40% of our traffic is trapped. 40%!! we don’t do anything on internet beyond the usual but it’s interesting that a massive chunk of our traffic is just something tracking our movements.
If interested, our device are Google tv, couple fire sticks, iPad, MacBook and windows laptop. each one pretty much contributes to the tracking evenly and to their respective brand tracking urls, although msh.amazon urls are the highest scores.
I’ve always heard about this but I’m so uneducated in networking I have no clue what this is called or where to start. Any tips?
Pretty straight forward really, install Adguard home on a always on Linux box (rpi is our movie box) via https://github.com/AdguardTeam/AdGuardHome/wiki/Getting-Started and then update all your devices as per the setup instructions from the web app when working so they use the ip address of the rpi as their dns. I was surprised how easy it was to get running tbh.

Why do they ruin everything? Why did we allow this to happen?
Ah yes the sensitive retards are mindlessly downvoting this just because of “muh slurs!!” even if they agree with the text. Thanks for proving my point. The internet has turned into a fucking daycare.
have you ever talked with a mental health professional? that comment history indicates a severe mental illness
