- digging 3y agoFirefox blocks canvas access for this reason, which is a real pain now because it has actual usefulness. I hate advertising so much. Like, advertising on its own is already disgusting. I've worked hard to prevent myself from seeing/hearing ads. But the fact that this industry has also turned into a nightmare panopticon is so stupid. I wish we could literally ban all advertising. Maybe an exception for coupons in newspapers.
