American corporations like Facebook, Google, and Amazon make billions from weaponizing your private data. And you don't even have to be using their products for them to steal from you!

Rob them of that option by blocking ads and trackers.

Starve these bastards of your data, and you'll kill their revenue.

it's hard to block google these days as their recaptcha is gaining popularity

I've actually seen a lot of sites switching to cloudflare's and while it's not a wonderful company either their captcha isn't used for AI training. As someone behind a website with a captcha guard don't hesitate to complain to the site owner - it's such a rare thing that your request will usually get in front of the eyes of a human that can enact change.

Yeah as a web dev as well this seems like a pretty neat alternative:
