A place to discuss privacy and freedom in the digital world.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.
Some Rules
- Posting a link to a website containing tracking isn't great, if contents of the website are behind a paywall maybe copy them into the post
- Don't promote proprietary software
- Try to keep things on topic
- If you have a question, please try searching for previous discussions, maybe it has already been answered
- Reposts are fine, but should have at least a couple of weeks in between so that the post can reach a new audience
- Be nice :)

Use uBlock. Either with a list or learn to use the selector tool to remove the overlays/scripts directly. That is what I do for the GF's PC so she can watch YT.
Edit: It looks like an eyedrop tool. So it might also be called that.
I was hoping there is one that works for all pages without needing to select them manually
Fair, but you will be surprised how often people simply revisit the same sites, over and over. You do it once, it is done for life. Also, it takes like 3-4 seconds. It is worth the investment of a few seconds. Or at least, that is what I have found.
