Hey I’ve been in that room! I don’t get it, I can’t live with that for of thing. And this is why I only have like 2 or 3 extensions (all ad blockers).

Execs love this shit. I only had one exec who pushed not to do that or open Pandora’s box.

He made a ton of cash, cashed out, and retired at 30 something. Awesome dude, I miss working under him.

Out of curiosity, why 2-3 different ad blockers?

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 1 points 12 hours ago

I run multiple as well. It's like double-bagging it, except actually effective.

I have similar.

  • privacy badger
  • ublock
  • adblock plus

and have pihole on my network.

You probably would have meant ublock origin and must have shortened it to uBlock, but just a reminder for others who don't know, Ublock and Ublock Origin are different things, with Ublock.org and others being a clone and unreliable/malware (I am not sure on the malware part but just something I have heard but not verified). Use Ublock Origin on Firefox, and if you are using chrome, switch to Firefox but if you can't for some reason use Ublock lite (manifest V3 version).

They often do different things.

Privacy badger, ublock, https everywhere are just required tools.

Hasn't HTTPS Everywhere been dead for years? Enabling forced HTTPS is a native feature in every browser now afaik.
