Wow, that's absolutely insane that I have to go through half an hour of 'opting out' from different ad networks in order to visit the actual website I was going to in the first place without being tracked.

Thank developers for ad-block technology.

BTW, these opt-out options work by adding unique cookie identifiers to your browser (opt-out tracking is implemented by tracking you?). If you block 3rd-party cookies or ads, it won't work, and you'll need to redo everything if you clear cookies or change browser.

I'd say these "opt-out" options are not gonna work in practice.
