Started tweaking uMatrix in Palemoon to block most content, including scripts, on sites I visit regularly. This is optimize load times and stop bullshit from using bandwidth.

Google and Facebook together receive 50% of the total worldwide digital ad spending in 2019. That's $103.73 billion and $67.37 billion respectively. They gained this position due to the incredibly detailed profiles of their users that they collected. Therefore these two companies enable advertisers to target a very specific audience for their ads.

I remember reading something about Facebook introducing ads to Whatsapp in 2020?
I hope they make it so intrusive that they force you to watch a 10 second Ad before the app opens. And then flash full screen ads before every chat you open.
I hope this forces people to uninstall this shit.
