I don't, but I'm fine with paying for premium. I hate that a lot of content has sponsored content that your premium subscription doesn't remove. Even if I paid for premium I'd still need to have SponsorBlock to make it watchable.

Portal. I thought it was just a puzzle game. I love twists in movies and this one really caught me off guard.

The internet never used to be like this. It used to be full of shitty GIFs and under construction signs. Also don't forget to sign the guest book and be impressed with the high hit counter.

Yahoo! Also ruled as a search engine.

I've run pihole for years. It works really well. The only problem I've seen is when you actually need a tracking URL to work. For example clicking a link in your emails to download a ticket for a concert. You just need to be mindful that when the browser fails to open a link it's because of the PiHole. There's no nice screen telling you. You just need to pop it into the whitelist to allow it although on a phone I just used to go to mobile data temporarily, click the link and then go back on WiFi.

I recently switched to using NextDNS, as it means all my DNS queries are encrypted and I still get filtering when I'm away from home. I also have three kids to manage so it allows me to set timers on their devices to block certain traffic. Good for blocking adult sites too.

I care. The majority of countries are heavily dependent on WhatsApp and that's not good!

What's taking Apple so long to tackle this? Google won't release their tracking network until Apple updates their platform to flag unknown trackers that are following you. It was due to be released this summer and seemingly has fallen off the radar because of Apple.

What's the difference? I've not used iOS for over 10 years now.

I was getting the banner and eventually it just stopped me watching. Clearing the filter cache and then updating them again worked for me. It took a browser restart though.
