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.

How does adnauseum compare to ublock origin?

[-] Krause@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

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
