It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

    Right, but thousands of them, possibly every day? Could perhaps affect your data consumption on your phone e.g. 🤷‍♂️

    Edit: I got it guys, thanks.

      I don’t know of any data plan that limits on the upload. Caps are usually on the download side, and TFA says it does not download the server response.

      You aren’t terribly familiar with how much traffic we generate nowadays… are you? If we were still on 2G and isdn / dsl sure. You’d likely see a slight latency jump. On anything from this last decade+ ? Not a chance.

        I’m not, am I. I hadn’t done any calculations regarding this. It was strictly hypothetical, as you can probably tell from the question mark and 🤷‍♂️. 👍

          I’ll be honest - you weren’t really presenting your case in that way. Understand my confusion: you seemed pretty adamant about your concern with no backing data on it. Most people pick their hills with something to back them.

              That’s kind of my point - just based on the reception it’s clear that a number of people were perceiving that as one. Normally that’s the “pump the brakes” or the “hol up 🖐️🖐️” moment where you clarify.
