    Every time I feel this way, I take one more step to getting rid of one of the offending parties.

    I’m like 50% off gmail (proton mail rules), 100% off gdrive/google maps, all in on libre office, proton VPN, little snitch, and about to boot linux onto one of my old MBPro‘s so I can start transitioning over to using Linux as a daily driver. I’m new to it but I’m decently tech savvy so I think I can find a distro that is a decent balance of privacy, control, but still user-friendly.

    The list goes on, and a lot needs to be done, but my experience at my computer and online in general has been slowly improving over the last year or two since I’ve gotten more aggressive about it. Also leaving Reddit helped lol

      Yeah.

      And we can still block entire sites on the web.

      The sites the friends with adblockers promote.
      The friends who don’t notice what they promote.
      What unholy bastards the people who own the sites they promote are.
