How many Adblocking/Privacy extensions are too much?
How many Adblocking/Privacy extensions are too much?
So as the title mentions, I'm wondering how much is too much?
I am currently using Brave with the setting to:
- Aggressively block trackers & ads
- Only connect with HTTPS
- Block fingerprinting
- Block cross-site cookies
In addition to that, I have installed the following extensions:
- uBlock Origin
- Ghostery
- Decentraleyes
- DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials
So my question is: Is this overkill? If so, what should/could be removed that may be redundant? I want as much coverage as possible, but not have things bloated.
You're viewing part of a thread.
You sure about that?
Verily
Why waste your time on lemmy/kbin or the fediverse? Reddit/X/Threads are free-as-in-beer so you don't pay for them, there's more content, and you don't pay for them. You can skip all of the ads with adblockers and have a great time.
I don't get the point that you are trying to make
That part is clear. You're presumably concerned about privacy based on your participation here, but not about the people responsible for making privacy an issue of concern in the first place. You've artificially constrained politics to "voting", but voting is only a tiny portion of politics, and when it comes to non-government entities one that's not useful. Using software or a platform is inherently political, and when someone is profiting from that and working to chip away your rights it becomes important.
Yes that's the point. I couldn't care less about the politics involved, as long as the product is FOSS.
You like to attach "politics" to anything, because that's what USA television has warped your mind into.
lol. That's the weirdest mind-warping logic that you need to use to make that statement make sense.
I don't watch television in the US. However, everything being political was true when I lived in Europe for years. Many smart Europeans have written about this for centuries, but I'm guessing you haven't read their work.
Nice!
You are now reverting to ad hominem, while accusing me of not making an argument.
I guess its only normal that you feel so strongly about offending other people and making them beneath you
Is it a inferiority complex?
lol. That's the weirdest mind-warping logic that you need to use to make that statement make sense.
