    At least they have Onetrust to enable cookie and privacy preferences. Done right it can be give a fair balance of privacy and site monitoring, when integrated with Adobe DTM and Quantum Metric.

    A webdev needed just one function from a framework so he included the whole thing. A guy I know rewrote the necessary code from the framework himself in less than a day and deleted the framework eventually. Saved 30 MB!

    lmao, seriously it is getting ridiculous out there. There are days where I spend an hour or two looking up some of the domains on a site I try to visit to see if they are ad platforms, trackers, etc. My untrusted list is fat, and gets fatter every day it seems.

      I just block everything out of the gate. The harder a site is to use, the less likely I’ll use it.

      Helps keep me from useless browsing too

        I’m almost at that point. As it is now (depending on the importance of needing to access the site), I’ll spend 2-5 minutes attempting to get the site to operate without allowing obviously shitty scripts. If that fails, then I’m moving on.

        banks telcos will give you hard time… just got to enable enough of that slop until they do or switch to a more friendly provider.

        i got red of my legacy bank because they got cute about it. fuck them, they were not even a good financial product with clown ass interest rate.

        another option is to have a browser that’s used for these activities only. something like ungoogled chromium although that can get spotty or just old vanilla FF with ubloock of course apparently you will get flagged for not using mega corp approved internet infrastructure. YMMV

        Thank you for your service!

          Doesn’t help that my PiHole is also blocking these at a DNS level as well my network is all routed behind VPN tunnels.

          Pretty much all telecom companies around me do this.

          thank you for your service!

          All about that FOSS!

            haha… easy there chad

            I have been thinking about going that route good to know it will cause friction ahead of time.

            It is interesting that you can access government websites on these set ups but you can’t access the telco

          I switched from a major nationwide bank to a local credit union. Why the F did I stay with that garbage so long?

          When from paying hundreds a year to getting some tiny interest.
