I blocked ai communities wherever they showed up, it’s not that I hate it it just has no value to me, no substance. It’s like looking at one of billions of marginal steps some algorithm takes to refine itself.
Ublock origin Ghostery Containers (so darn useful) Tampermonkey if you know JavaScript, little tweaks can make some sites much more usable
Custom Context search (forgot the actual name of it and I’m on mobile now). It allows you to add custom searches to your right click, so if you select text and right click, you can search for it on any site with search functionality.
I think it’s not cool unless it’s funny. I’m trying to think of a good philosophical reason for that. I agree most of the time I am annoyed and don’t even look at them, scrolling past as if they were advertising.
