That might be a big scope increase compared to the type of software it is currently, but what a great idea. Maybe file a feature request in their github project?

It would be funny if websites started using Elon's fat or bald pictures for articles
I'm seeing the same, not even using a VPN.
Until they're willing to take off the gloves and directly and publicly attack corrupt Democrats, this is just noise. I'm done voting for Democrats. We need a new party.
Except that was the whole idea with the Justice Democrats, that got AOC elected in the first place. Remember when she protested outside of Pelosi's office? Seen any of that lately? Remember when she cried on the House floor? That strategy hasn't worked. As soon as AOC got in, she got eaten by the party. I think advocates of the "take over the Dem party" strategy underestimate the enormous institutional pressure party members come under when they enter that bubble.
Unfortunately this just isn't true. It's not the consultant class that made AOC cry on the floor of the House for not wanting to fund Israel's iron dome, it was Nancy Pelosi. The whole infrastructure is corrupt with wall street money. It wasn't the consultant class that disciplined each every squad member into toeing the party line, not coming out guns blazing for progressive candidates and calling for primaries against corporate Dems, it's the party leadership.
Oh cool! I'm always a week or so late on Behind the Bastards, I wait until they put it on youtube so I can use sponsorblock and kill the ads. I like the coolzonemedia podcasts, but they're way too heavy on the ads for me without a blocker
They just don’t want to spend the money (that the government gave them years ago to do specifically that)
There was a great talk about this at a hacker convention a few years back. Infuriating, but great.

Option #4: nuke BS intellectual property laws that enable rent seeking US firms.
Cory Doctorow has a policy proposal for Canada or any other countries that want to respond to US tariffs. The tldr; is make it legal to jailbreak your devices, so companies can sell aftermarket kits to do things like install a Canadian (or EU) app store on your iphone and cut out Apple's US 30% cut on all app purchases. Make it so any mechanic anywhere can jailbreak your Tesla or tractor or whatever to enable all your car's paid subscription features permanently and for free, etc.
Strike directly at the big American tech companies that prop up the stock market.
