A couple lib conclusions, but a good exploration of yet another instance of enshitification of the internet monopolies. Also it mentions adNauseam and I like to remind people that Google banned adNauseam directly in Chromium.

What's that? I can't hear you over the awesome sound of multiple Pi-Holes and uBlock Origin.

I have a single Pi-hole, what’s the reason to have multiple?

This video introduced me to adNauseam as well. I also had no idea the FBI recommends use of an ad blocker.

Oh, I've been using it for years already, just very miffed at Google banning it and doing their darnest to ruin adblockers in Manifest v3. Except for their pet ones that allow google ads, of course. Thankfully Firefox is still the least terrible modern browser and even has it as "Recommended".
