I'm surprised the article doesn't say more about how individuals can shelter from surveillance and targeted advertising. Here's my standard package of measures:

• Remove all mobile phone apps you're not using
• On both your computer and your phone, use a more privacy-focused browser than Google #Chrome. I use #Firefox. Don't use anything based on #Chromium.
• In your browser, on all devices, install the following extensions: #uBlockOrigin, #Decentraleyes and either the #EFF's #PrivacyBadger or #Ghostery
• Install PiHole to protect your home network (or cook a nice dinner for a geeky friend who installs it for you)
• On your phone, install either #Blokada or #TrackerControl to prevent apps from phoning home while you're using mobile data and you're not protected by your Pi-Hole.

It's terrible that you have to be this careful and this technically knowledgeable to reduce the harms of targeted advertising. I agree with the article about the legal changes we need to make. But, since that's not going to happen in the foreseeable future, we should also talk about the things people can do to protect themselves right now. And, as technically knowledgeable people, we should offer practical help to our friends and loved ones to protect them directly.

@lo69 Je suis sur e/OS/ aussi. J'ai installé #TrackerControl en complément.
Évidemment les filtres de e/OS/ sont mieux que rien, c'est assez efficace, mais 1) ils sont timides car ils ne veulent pas dégrader l'expérience utilisateur et 2) il y a d'autres moyen de se faire traquer (empreintes de navigateur, cookies, etc.).
D'ailleurs #TrackerControl n'est pas la solution miracle non plus.

Mais quand même #e/os/ c'est vraiment bien. On se sent quand même l'esprit plus tranquille.

@sebsauvage en utilisant #TrackerControl la très grande majorité de ces problèmes disparaissent !

Im Großen und Ganzen ja. Sieht für mich so aus, als würde #TrackerControl nur ein komplettes Ein/Aus pro App verwalten. Also ohne detaillierte Konfiguration...

#NewPipe greift auf #YouTube zu... daher braucht es den Zugriff, wenn es funktionieren soll... ;-)

@antjem

#TrackerControl scheint mir vergleichbar wie #RethinkDNS oder #NetGuard zu arbeiten.

Da vermute ich, #TrackerControl blockiert sämtliche #YouTube-URLs. Dies betrifft dann natürlich auch Apps wie #NewPipe.

Hast Du in #TrackerControl die Möglichkeit, die Blockierungen für einzelne Apps zu konfigurieren? Kannst Du #NewPipe in #TrackerControl von der #YouTube-Blockade ausnehmen?
