Why do this? Because surveillance capitalism wants you to be less free. It wants you to be glued to the screen. It wants you to buy whatever advertisers want you to buy. But you can fight back by deliberately poisoning your data.

    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.
