Colloidal

Oof.

Potentially.

I don't know about NZ (or wherever you are), but IP addresses for residential access in the US don't really change all that much. It's... concerning.

You do have a point, but... It's not for nothing. It's to hurt the predatory ad industry. And what you give up isn't much: your IP address and likely the referral (so they know you visited website X that was serving their ad). It's up to you to decide whether that's an acceptable privacy cost to conduct this kind of guerilla ad warfare.

It would be cool if it could somehow integrate to a VPN and only do that while the VPN is active. I don't think it's possible, though.

edit: Just found out from their FAQ:

Does AdNauseam respect the browser's private-browsing/incognito modes?
Yes, AdNauseam does not collect or click Ads that occur on pages loaded in private-browsing or incognito windows, unless manually enabled by the user.

Haven't you heard? Bayer and Monsanto are one. And Dow and Dupont have fused too. Together, Bayer-Monsanto and Dow-Dupont control over 60% of all grain seed production in the world. All your wheat, corn, rice... it's all in the hands of these 2 companies.

Is it? Not for me, at least.

Por qué no los dos?

People that say that are thinking of strong typed languages instead of type safe languages. There’s a difference. And it looks like you’re on to it.

Not much I’m afraid. I’ve just returned to desktop clients after years of only email (and outlook at work 🤢). I can tell you it’s very intuitive, setting up the accounts was very easy.

The spam filter is quite decent from the get go, but it needs training to get better. To that end, I’ve added a mark as junk button to my toolbar (right click next to the search bar and customize). That makes it faster to mass mark things to either confirm or correct the filter. I’m sure there’s a keyboard shortcut to do it, but I’m not a heavy e-mail user so I didn’t bother to look.

I like that there are several extensions available, but I usually only install the ones that I really need and trust. So that’s basically Dark Reader and a nice theme for the app.

I even set up GPG keys and tested both cryptography and email signing. It’s amazing how they managed to get these to be so user friendly, that was not the case at all in the several years ago I tried. You can see in Gmail how the email shows up as gobbledygook but not on Betterbird.

I see a few very specific reasons in this case.

Is it really what the OP referred to? I’d say “countries of the G7” not “areas like G7” of that was the case. I guess I got thrown off. Thanks.

What’s G7?
