    I had to allow a bunch of stuff in pihole because I wasn’t able to use Google flights or Google News and some functions in Gmail, the sites never finished loading

      You might need a little bit of degoogleizer.

      In a small dose, it eases the pain, but with the right treatment, your life will become yours again.

        I have no answer. I’m almost 40 and could no longer care less about BabyTube. I’m now more interested in life and travelling. Long gone are the days where YT was interesting.
