For me: Cancelling paid subscriptions should be as easy as subscribing. I hate the fact that they actively hide the unsubscribe option or that you sometimes should have to write an e-mail if you want to unsubscribe.

    I am always shocked when I have to use a browser without an ad blocker. How do people tolerate it?

    I mean, I get it. I know many people have no idea about adblocking, etc. But goddam. It’s so awful without it.

        Use DNS-based blocking. I put Tomato firmware on my router and block for all devices on my network. Rethink can selfhost DNS on Android too.

          yah I’m putting in a pihole,but I gotta get off my arse and finish configuring my bigtree for the 3d printer to free up the pi first. It’s a process.

          Interesting, I just use a private DNS on my phone set to dns.adguard.com and it catches most things, but I’d like to hear more about this. I’ve considered setting up a pihole but there are people in the house who work from home and need to do VPN shit so I’m reluctant to mess with that, but if I can just change the firmware on the router…

            Look into OpenWRT, FreshTomato, etc. Depends on your model of router (advanced: build your own!) It accomplishes the same thing as a PiHole.
