Between uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, ClearURLs, Decentraleyes, and Privacy Possum, I’m having a hard time deciding which ones I actually need and which ones I don’t. Do they actually do different things, or are they largely the same?

    I dont like people who intentionally create mischief and chaos in orderly systems. Personally, I do not think ad networks, their offerings, quality control and freedom of use is capable to a level in which it can be considered an orderly system. It is already too chaotic in my eyes. Threat actors can already target and cause more chaos to many of these metrics that ad nauseum targets. It is insignificant to my eyes to use ad nauseum or block its use. To even think about the moral and ethical implications is too obtuse when ad systems are already clearly pushing those boundaries

      Most people would say why care if you can just block ads and forget it. Easy way. Hell no most people even don’t care if there are ads lol. But there are people who probably would like to fight ads back? Why? IDK. They see ads system is bad and do something against it. I use Brave now and I was using uMatrix and uBo hard before… But easy way…
