Gotta wait till augmented reality becomes a common thing like smartphones so you can use an adblocker software to hide ads to your eyes in public, haha.
The first thing that pops up in my mind is your public IPv4. You see, in your home LAN every device uses the same public IPv4 to communicate in the internet. So if one device browses for something like an iPhone and you're being tracked then those ad brokers deliver iPhone ads to this public IPv4 and every device behind this public IPv4 will see those ads. Nobody on the internet knows whether behind this public IPv4 is a single device or a LAN with many devices.
Either they're okay with a switch and it's easy or they are not open for that and it's impossible to change their mind.
Pretty much nobody I know wants to switch to Signal or any other messaging app. So it's SMS communication with them because I definitely won't install WhatsApp.
Imo only in terms of privacy. I tried it a few times over like two to three days but I always went back to Plex. Jellyfin is a nice piece of software though. I can imagine my switch will happen in a few years.
Me too. I was so reluctant to pay for a search engine at first since there are good alternatives out there I don't have to pay for. But I just at least wanted to try the first 100 free searches and was blown away by how great it is. It has some unique features like prioritizing or blocking specific domains, lenses and custom bangs. I payed the $10 the same day for Pro tier and 5 days later (yesterday) I even upgraded to Ultimate tier with ChatGPT-4 (called Kagi Assistant). I really, really enjoy Kagi so far. Most probably it's gonna be my one and only search engine for the next years to come.
I have a Synology NAS so I use Hyper Backup and upload my backups in the Synology C2 Cloud. Of course all my files are encrypted first before they get uploaded.
Why would they want to stop? This is their fight against adblockers and on Chromium based browsers it's an effective way so of course they keep pushing. ;)
My thoughts exactly. Next is: "OMG did you know there's the all seeing eye on the dollar notes! That means you're being spied on wherever there is cash!!!!"
Stuff like this just makes me wanna roll my eyes.
True. I recommend a DNS based adblocker like Pi-hole and an extra adblocker like uBO in your browser. If you can't access a website you'll immediately know who is the culprit blocking the site you're trying to access.
Dunno. That would mean websites would know what filter lists inside an adblocker browser addon you use, which I can't imagine tbh. But I'd say it's a gamble. With more block lists you can achieve more privacy but maybe (if privacybro is right) fingerprinting you is easier. You decide what is the right choice to make here.
