Not sure I should celebrate or cry after looking at these privacy stats in my @Vivaldi browser. Using the ad and tracker blocker since Feb 17th 2022.
@atlemo @Vivaldi Nearly 40% of my blocked trackers were from Microsoft. Unsurprising. I was surprised to see about 12% were from duckduckgo.
@atlemo @Vivaldi Website: We Value Your Privacy! Please allow 647 of our besties to follow you around the web.
@john @atlemo @Vivaldi Expect that to be worse with Manifest V3 rolling next year. I hope Vivaldi has plans to support V2 still.
@atlemo @Vivaldi "My Anti-Missile system shot down 4 nukes! Wohoo... Wait, what?!"
@atlemo @Vivaldi I could live with the ads if they weren't the most prominent "feature" on the site and always on your face plus the creepy spying/tracking. Get rid of trackers and make better ads and i would whitelist more!
@trappski @Vivaldi hear hear
@atlemo @Vivaldi Cry probably. Mine's running since April 14 2022, and just got bit more than 8k Trackerss and ~260 Ads.
On the other perspective, I got ublock origin and no script running, which probably filters out the majority already before vivaldi even sees it...
@atlemo @Vivaldi Suitable emoji for that --->
Mastodon is the best way to keep up with what's happening.
Follow anyone across the fediverse and see it all in chronological order. No algorithms, ads, or clickbait in sight.
