You can also enable the easy list for cookies in uBlock Origin. It misses some but for the most part it works.

I'm a VMware and Windows admin in my work life. I don't have extensive knowledge of Linux but I have been running Raspberry Pis at home. I can't remember why but I started to migrate away from installed applications to docker. It simplifies the process should I need to reload the OS or even migrate to a new Pi. I use a single docker-compose file that I just need to copy to the new Pi and then run to get my apps back up and running.

linuxserver.io make some good images and have example configs for docker-compose

If you want to have a play just install something basic, like Pihole.

No but a large portion of the world uses WhatsApp. Personally, since it became a Meta application I want to move away from it. Doing so though is not easily done without mass adoption. You're highly dependent on your other contacts.

I was hoping RCS will be the next best thing. But I won't be holding my breath.

Hah, yes!

They no longer appear for me. The biggest change for me was just using uBlock Origin. Previously I also had Ghostery. If you run multiple extensions for privacy, try dropping them and only using uBlock.

I don't see why it's bizarre. Apple worked hard on getting their devices into people's hands and created an ecosystem to keep people buying their devices again in the future.

Besides, it's no different from any other countries dependancy on other messaging applications, like WhatsApp!

As a kid, I remember when the schools used to have that paper that literally was paper and on one side being shiny. Shit used to literally smear on the shiny side. I don't think it actually exists anymore.

If they do that people won't turn it on. They rely on people to not read things.

I wish someone (EU) would step in and force companies to make data collection settings be opt in rather than opt out.

Samsung loves bloat. Their attempt at creating an ecosystem and therefore lock in to keep using their devices. I like Samsung hardware but their software is shit.

Not that I know of

That's all I ever see on my wife's phone in Chrome. Just a smiley face. Personally it bugs the shit out of me. I close any unwanted tabs.

What happened to the ad blocker detection thing a month ago. Did Google remove it or does uBlock Origin have a permanent workaround now rather than needing to clear cache and reload?
