From what I read these articles talk about post infection use of OpenNIC tlds. Anyway it was just a suggestion, it's always a good idea to only use DNS servers you trust :)

I don't understand how that would be a security risk to you. Even if I understood what the threat vector was, it would be very inefficient to use an OpenNIC tld to spread malware as you only target 0.0001% (random very low number) of internet users.

You're in trouble already as a business, wasting a lot of money, if you don't know where your target audience is. What you argue is that this is used for a business to probe where an advertisement would work. I'd argue that that is a very expensive way of finding your target audience, because you still have to pay for all the ads that didn't work. There are much better ways of figuring out where your target audience is.

I think most people believe that this obsessive data collection is neccessary, only because Google has repeatedly painted that narrative. This better advertising is just coincidentally the form of advertising that Google is in the best position to supply.

If you carefully pick the places you advertise and do statistics on how it affect your business while a campaign runs I'm willing to bet you get a much better return. As a bonus to saving money you didn't have to shit on an important principle in democracy, the autonomy of the people, protected by something called privacy.

Did you ironically preserve the utm_source parameter?

I'm not even buying the premise. Any business can look at its bottomline to see if their advertising works. If they can't, then its not working.

There's plenty to add from OpenNIC and you get access to some addition TLDs as a bonus ;)

I think most PDF readers support Javascript. I use xpdf and one of the reasons is that it does not support Javascript.

I use the addon Redirector for rewriting urls to youtube etc. to private alternatives. I guess you can use it to rewrite startpage queries.

I’ve built a pretty functional web-based video editor that helps you generate FFmpeg commands in a visual, node-based environment. The tool lets you play around with most (but not all) FFmpeg filters, render videos in the browser (!), import your own files and/or work with demo videos, export gifs and mp4s, and it comes with a few built-in examples of the many fun things one can do with FFmpeg.

You're looking for what's called reproducible builds.
