Over time, major tech companies have learned from malware writers and now incorporate these tactics into their own products. This is a matter of great concern.
I am using the AdGuard for Windows method. Everything is filtered at network level using a local proxy. I don't need to waste my time anymore worrying about which browser ruins their extension API by following Google's nonsense.
It is surprising that such a large number of people continue to fall victim to fraud at the cinema. High-quality televisions and sound systems are now available at a reasonable price. It has been 12 years since I last attended a movie screening. All content will be available on-demand within a month of the theatrical release. Popcorn maker at home and drinks.
I no longer feel obligated to apologize for holding on to older devices for a long time. I have several desktops and laptops that are all still usable.
Stylus is a good alternative to Stylish. I keep my extensions to a minimum, and I turn off the ones I don't need until I need to use them. The only extensions I have turned on all the time are uBlock, Humble New Tab Page, and Stylus.
Websites like this are exactly the reason why I use RSS, and it looks like email clients. The web page is overly complex and requires excessive scrolling.
That's horrible! I've heard similar horror stories about other cloud synchronization software. Lesson learned. I don't trust the cloud, and to rent someone else's server. I create my own local backups and don't rely on anyone else. I've been doing the same thing for over 26 years and have never lost anything.
For me, Spotify is only for discovery. I've been collecting MP3s of my favorite tracks for over 25 years, long before streaming became popular, and I still do it today. I organize my collection by the year each track was created using a folder structure on my hard drive instead of playlists, and it's all stored locally. I could go even further with this amazing software called MP3tag. Audio Dedupe is great at finding duplicates.
I use uBlock on desktop and laptop with Dan host files. AdGuard DNS on Android, or Firefox Mobile with uBlock extension. Even Edge on mobile has extension support now.
I'm glad I kept my ageing Dell Studio XPS 7100. I need to stock up on some Dell Precision towers from the surplus in case my Studio XPS 7100 breaks. This AI bubble needs to burst soon.
