> What's the point though? I am not inside any of these corps but I started using a PiHole at home for 7 months now. Plus I installed ad/tracking blockers on all of family's devices, and installed every possible privacy addon on their web browsers. The result? In the rare cases when I had to open up the machine and so the PiHole was down, we've all seen the most random ads you can imagine -- and super generic. They knew my mother's phone was of an elderly woman so they pushed ads of all sorts of knee protectors and sore throat pills... ironically she has zero problems with both! Same for me. Apparently being 40+ I now need to buy one car each week and dream of going to "beach retreats full of young women" (that was literally the text of 10+ ads I've seen). Little do they know I am very happily married. Examples abound. It's kind of hilarious. Back to your point, and with us being techies, I think we are under no illusion that the corps still know quite a few things about us. But I am here to tell you that if you try well enough they'll eventually lose the big picture of you and will only have a few separate quanta of data about you which they aren't sure what to do with -- at least when it comes to targeted advertising.
