Honestly it’s fucking angering. So much regulation and geo-restrictions and licensing schemes… but it’s cool that there are data brokers, and shit like this. On top of it all Chrome screwing us with manifest v3 and killing ad blocking on chrome. It’s already in canary build.

I get it that everyone wants ad blockers in their browser, but it doesn’t solve the problem of resources loading outside the browser.

I think DNS or IP filtering is much more effective. I only bring it up because everyone uses apps all the time and I’m constantly seeing apps trying to connect to tracking domains.
