And why blocking ads (and elements with uMatrix) along with DNS blocking of advertisement, malware, and telemetry sites is essential, as they just don’t vet these ads they’ll feed to your computer, a gaping security hole you didn’t sign up…
Amazon is the king of getting you to pay for your own surveillance. I wonder what’s going on with megacorp office workers these days, as you know they’d love to have this kind of surveillance. When I left we were…
