@myNameIsT@snailedit.social @gruber@mastodon.social @MisterMoo@mstdn.social @delric@mastodon.social Yes, it works most of the time, but it’s an ugly hack. And even though there’s no reason to suspect Kagi of any mischief, I’m reluctant on principle to install extensions with full access to any web page I visit (which Kagi’s ugly hack unfortunately requires)

@mhoye@cosocial.ca Which iOS adblockers have you tried? I've been very happy with 1Blocker, which includes DNS based blocking of in-app trackers. And I've seen good reports on other options, although it's been a while since I've felt a need to try anything else.

@amydiehl@mstdn.social @mhoye@cosocial.ca “… women were consistently more skeptical than men that AI benefits would outweigh its risks, and were less convinced that their professional lives would gain because of the technology.” Could this be because they can recognize it as mansplaining as a service?

@me @dangoodin I’ll bet that turning my adblocker off would give a website pennies at best. I’d gladly pay nickels or dimes to read something useful. Sometimes even a few dollars. Seems like there should be a financial incentive there. Or does ad revenue pay better than I realize?

@dangoodin I do subscribe to Ars Technica because it consistently publishes articles I find useful. I want to support journalists, but I can’t afford to subscribe to every website that occasionally publishes something I want to read. And I won’t risk my privacy and security by turning off my ad blocker. I wish micropayments were available for these situations, but when faced that paywall I will just go away. (Wondering why micropayments never went anywhere — seems like a missed opportunity)

@micahflee Thr Phreeli web site asks for your zip code + 4 to determine availability. If they save those 9 digits, it’s usually enough to narrow your address down to approximately a single block, maybe just one side of the street. How anonymous is that? Am I missing something?
