I’m newish to the privacy world, and thus have been… lax in prior years. So my ads are still very targeted. I’ve seen stuff about Incogni, and their whole deal, and wanted to ask y’all if it’s legit/worth it?

    Just block all ad/tracking domains and hopefully your ads will go away. I haven’t seen an ad in ages, but when I did (due to temporarily disabling) they were clearly not targeted.

    Why deal with targeting at all when you can completely block them?

      I can also recommend the NoScript extension.

      It breaks a lot of websites – which you then have to unbreak by re-allowing scripts for certain domains, temporarily if desired – but you end up getting a better feeling of how bad the web has become when you come across places that want to load scripts from dozens or more of different domains. Like, you’re intending to tell how many other parties that I’ve visited this website?
