[Rant] I hate the modern internet
(lemmy.world)
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
In this community everyone is welcome to post links and discuss topics related to privacy.

much thanks to @gary_host_laptop for the logo design :)
It is an absolute nightmare, but you can gain some privacy back with ublock origin, an adblocking DNS on your phone, Firefox, a VPN, and ditching all things google/meta. As I type this out, I am reminded how much effort it takes to claw back your privacy...yeah OP, I'm with you, the modern internet is a profit-at-all-cost cesspool that can eat a moldy potato!
For mobile adblockers I recommend AdAway: https://github.com/AdAway/AdAway
Sweet! Just installed. How does it compare to adguard?
It redirects Ad servers to the 127.0.0.1 ip (loopback adress) or blocks them from connecting to your device
