Below you’ll find some other useful things, although they aren’t exactly related to ad-blocking:
Browser extensions against annoyances:
- Cookie popups: Consent-O-Matic
- Captchas: Buster
I’d also suggest SponsorBlock — it has saved me so much time. There’s also an option for TVs and streaming devices.
If you’re on iOS, consider turning off Background App Refresh. Only a few apps use Background App Refresh as Apple designed it, the majority are simply abusing it to get more data about you. If you don’t have always-on VPN, you risk exposing your real IP.
Patched apps are also a thing, and it’s also possible to patch mobile apps yourself via ReVanced. While it’s a decent option, it’s also a security risk — I’m careful with it and don’t use it with sensitive accounts.

“Proving right-wing bloviating idiots wrong yet again” works better for me, Fortune. Try that one.


Whats their website? Hilariously, all the search shows me are articles about it.


Proton Mail has long positioned itself as an apolitical company, dedicated solely to safeguarding user privacy. That’s why many were surprised when [Jan 2025] CEO Andy Yen posted on X (formerly Twitter) that the political landscape in the U.S. had shifted, stating, “10 years ago, Republicans were the party of big business and Dems stood for the little guys, but today the tables have completely turned.”
This statement quickly went viral, leading to further controversy when Proton’s official Reddit account reinforced Yen’s sentiment. The now-deleted post suggested that Republicans were more inclined to take on Big Tech monopolies than corporate-aligned Democrats. However, within hours, Proton removed all traces of these remarks from its social media platforms.
Proton? No.

The most excellent part is the pricing for it was made up by Altman based on “feels”.

Silence, consumer!
Oh definitely always. Most of the “women” referred to here learned it from their parents who learned it from their parents etc. and so on.
And probably all of them have a “crazy” aunt who ran off to California with some guy and they haven’t talked to her in years.
Nothing new under the sun. These women will either not learn anything or will not do anything differently. Except for the ~10% who do. And those will be fought over by the various factions of the left to ensure the omnipotence of the republiQan fascist agenda remains firmly in place.
