Here is a bit more information that might help, I posted this in privacy too.
Ads are malware block all ads
Israel itself is a malware
it achieved privilege escalation through the USA
Lol y'all still get ads?
Yeah... My company blocks the ability to install extensions so no ad blocking. I can't even use my DNS adblocker when working from home since the computer can only be online using the company VPN
It's been kind of absurd seeing what the internet looks like without an adblocker and I don't understand why anyone would choose not to use one
If you fuckers push any harder I will absolutely get off ass and complete that phone-is-now-a-thin-client-to-remote-burner-sessions project.
I am a bit confused. Which institutional EU website features auctioned ads to begin with?
There was a website on here not too long ago that showed various phones and their level of smartness one could buy. Anyone got a link for that?
