Every site is trying to pull a Bonzai Buddy now.
"We need all your info for advertising, not you can't opt out unless you make an account and give us your email. Oops, looks like I hid the opt-out under a subheader. Amazon is now profiling you."
WE USED TO CALL THAT SHIT A VIRUS.
ITS EVERY. FUCKING. WEBSITE. NOW
"Hi I'm going to block this entire site until you give me your info, this is very cool and normal."
Capitalism ruined the internet. The whole thing is malware now.

It’s not that bad for me, but then I’ve got eight finely tuned anti-bullshit browser extensions and a DNS sinkhole. No one should have to construct a whole elaborate tower defense like this just to get on the web.

it's the same as ublock origin if you activate "strict blocking" under settings, except it also generates fake clicks on ads to fuck with advertisers
I'm at over $22,000 so far, how's yours?

DNS sinkhole
Hell yeah, comrade. I'm running a IDS along with a sinkhole myself.
Thoughts on no script?
