@augieray This is fascinating. Even to a layperson, reprogramming of stem cells sounds… not good.
@clever_reports Lovely… as always, hard to tell it is not a photo, thinking, I have seen skies like that…
@augieray Congratulations but please don’t retire from making your informative posts here!
@clever_reports You live in a place of such a variety of moods in the sky… a whole month’s selection of the most dramatic clouds of youth rolled into a few days

Thank you for mentioning LibreWolf… had not been on my radar. Took a look and it is appealing that it apparently has uBO bundled in!

The only downside of uBO I’ve run across since installing is that something (am presuming blocking of Google Fonts) causes odd characters in the menuing for some sites (like Google Maps but also non-google sites that must use their fonts).

And thanks for the reminder about DNS, have been meaning to switch to Quad9…

@clever_reports Wonderful capture as always. Light in clouds is difficult to portray the way the eye sees it…

@k3ym0 @ublockorigin

This is really helpful information - thank you!

From Firefox + uMatrix on Windows, currently in process of becoming a Windows refugee on MacOS; had started with Safari, but leaning toward shifting to Firefox (more privacy protections?)… and apparently with uBlock Origin based on what you mention.

Might also be worth a separate post to explore the “why” of the devious telemetry obfuscation - e.g. no ads for ChatGPT Plus, so why hide Datadog etc…?

@k3ym0 @ublockorigin Fascinating and worrisome. For the less technically adept… would uMatrix be as effective? Or are these specific capabilities of uBO?
@augieray Thank you for all the information you post. You may not get a lot of comments, but have many readers. I’ve shared your balanced take with others.
@clever_reports Wondering whether the atmosphere of Jupiter might look like this…
