I was just thinking, it'd be really easy to boycott online services. But with so many mergers, and companies are so big, you never know who owns what anymore.

So I was wondering, have anyone made any kind of web browser extension that lets you list a company and you put in why you don't want to support them and it gets all of that company's holdings, and hell even friends, and when you go to that website it pops up a warning reminding you why you hate them and a list of alternatives to support?

@[email protected] ​Oh got you. Interesting. IDK if ad filtering would work. I just want like a popup, like those annoying cookie pop ups, but it's from a past you reminding you not to give in to the website you're at.

@ozoned ok yeah that is true to your original vision - probably some javascript dev would have little issue with that - run it as a browser extension and you can add on after you get basic functionality sorted #fourier transforms #crowd sourced best alternatives #hosts #csrf #greasemonkey

@ozoned libredirect does that to a small degree, redirecting from social media to their free counterparts or wrappers.

@ozoned a quick search shows there are a few out there that might be in line with your needs. The real question is, what browser do you use when doing it? https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/the-wall-boycott-assistan/kocebhffdnlgdahkbfeopdokcoikipam?hl=en&pli=1
