@soafen Good grief, just a couple of weeks ago I encountered 700+ and thought it was too much, then 830+ a week later, and just a couple of days ago 1200+, which already blew my mind. 1400+ is just... WOW... They DO say the web these days is virtually impossible to navigate without privacy-protecting measures... On that note, I'll leave this here, thanks to @ShadowJonathan who brought it to my attention: https://consentomatic.au.dk/ 8 comments
@soafen Oh, yeah, that extension is something to be used ON TOP of uBlock Origin, since it doesn't block ads, it just deals with automating the GDPR/cookie consent forms. I don't think I would be able to even be online without uBlock Origin doing the heavy lifting of filtering out ads. My 1Gbps connection would grind to a halt in no time flat, and my spoon drawer would instantly be thrown out of the window with THAT amount of distractions being sent my way O_o @nanianmichaels the web really isn't usable without an ad blocker anymore yea :p uBlock Origin is way more than an ad-blocker however, it's pretty much a swiss army knife of extensions - try dive into its settings sometime and you'll see what i mean @nanianmichaels @soafen I agree that ads are a problem on the modern internet. May i ask you to point to a solution that you recommend? I know that this is rude to ask, but i tried to look it up and found only untrustworthy or problematic extensions etc.. @soafen @nanianmichaels I have a real screenshot somewhere of a website asking me to share information with its 1492 partners by accepting cookies |

@nanianmichaels yea it's kinda ridiculous lol
i will mention that uBlock origin can also take care of these popups if you want to reject all personalised ads
