With as much insanity seems to come with the modern web (and "smart" devices), I feel like there might be a (niche) market for going back to something like Gopher (or a newer, similar variant) where I am imagine this sort of tracking and profiling is harder (and hopefully the content has a higher signal to noise ratio, and is more like the original grassroots web).
- nine_k 8y agoTurn JavaScript off entirety, only enable it to specific sites. Works 80% of the time, though. Many sites do client-side JS-based rendering.
- squiggleblaz 8y agoThe goal is to not be part of the spyweb and to have another separate safe space. Following your suggestion you get: (a) to be part of the spyweb - so they can still track you via web requests (b) not part of an independent net - so there isn't a higher proportion of signal, because the content generators are the same and targeted at generating adrevenue, not independent hobbiests sharing information about their interests. Consequently I don't think it will work. Gopher would work in the sense that you would notice the transition from a gopher site to a web site.
