Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?

    My mom uses Edge, told me not to block Facebook ads and clicks on most of the clickbait articles on her MSN home page. It’s like she WANTS them to collect as much data to sell and spy on her as much as possible 🤦

      If she really clicks on everything, then they have probably not much use of her data as it’s not specific enough. Check out this article about AdNauseam. This is an addon that does something pretty much identical to what your mom does, but automatically obviously.
