Comment on YSK you can poison your personal data to fight against surveillance capitalism.

It somehow works less well than ublock, especially like delayed ads or more dynamic ones. Never a problem block any kinds of ads with UBO.

I’ve never used it myself, I use UBO as well, but I’ve heard about it before and brought it up because it sounds like it does what the OP was talking about but for ads instead of social media.

I ran this for a while. It generated some interesting ad choices for me.

Do you mean by that that it changed what ads were shown to you over time? As in it changed your profile? Curious as to the impact it has :)

Random things I never saw on the page. Some of the ads I did see were foreign. It had a effect but it also at the time loaded the browser up enough I finally got rid of it.
