I run consent-o-matic and Adnausem so I reject cookies and still click on all ads to fuck with my advertising profiles.

I was about to say the same. Fuck them and their ad IDs.
will Adnausem still hide the ads and not render any response?
Yes, it uses uBO in the bg for the ad hiding iirc
yes it will.
I block cookies to lose weight
Friend - you need to use 4 different privacy-respecting browsers and a VPN to spite ad companies. Browser Fingerprinting is the name of the game now.
Cookies are so 2009. Google transcended caring about cookies and ad blockers more than a year ago.
Yeah I was gonna say. No one cares about cookies. Even vanilla Firefox has containers tabs by default.
"porque no los dos?"
My wife: why do we need a whole home VPN? What are you hiding?
Me: Baby, I work in Infosec. I'm hiding everything. But I'm mostly doing it to make it harder for our ISP to harvest and sell the data I'm paying for them to transmit.
She doesnt know how well you protect her.
Keep the fucking' man outta your girl's DMs.
You block cookies for either the reason above.
I eat those cookies.
We are not the same.
Both is good
It's hardly a different thing, all the data saucers & brokers are fueled by ad monies, other things don't pay as much (but are still disastrous due to the scales).
Thanks chicken man. Let's all block cookies and ads to spite ad companies.
You know normal people don't know what this crap is right?
Cookies? Ad companies? Privacy? I think those are pretty mainstream things to know about (at least if you live in a country with regulations on cookies, you get a banner on every website)
True. I know of them and what they are somewhat about. However, I would wager most of my employees have no interaction with them other than approving it. They may know it's a computer term, but what it is, I have doubts.
If they help me orgasm better Im for em
