    I’ve been ramping up the game as well. Now besides adblocks, I do almost all my online reading without javascript, I avoid all big tech and big brands, both online and physically, I plan on not getting any new equipment for at least 5 years, and I also buy less stuff in general

    I recently started using the Vivaldi browser, which has reduced my ad-tracking footprint appreciably.

      I’ve been using Zen for work and Waterfox personally. With the right extensions, you never see a single ad.

        I thought zen is neat, but then I saw this test about numbers of connections at startup and zen breaks all records for a Firefox based browser.

            That means it calls home to a lot of services.
