I have been using Firefox with Ublock Origin as my main browser for a long while. Usually when I get a privacy prompt, I reject cookies, or maybe some sites that are more difficult take me a to a panel that wants me to switch off loads of individual trackers.

I watched the movie "Enemy of the State" the other day. It was released in 1998, but it was a true prediction of the future.

I'm sure they quoted one instance of a holiday home owner donating all surplus food at the end of their stay.

Even so, some visitors donate. Wallis says a Swiss couple give £500 each year. People ring and ask him to collect excess food from their holiday cottage when they leave.
