Chrome has an addon that's closed sourced but claims to emulate containers feature from FF. I've forgotten the name since I never bothered checking it out.

I would also consider these people who have these extremist ideas victims. Society has never had your back. In so many other areas including this one. What we have is interest groups as people within society. And these groups will always ha

Deplatforming solves a problem. And only temporarily in the abundance of VPN & encrypted technologies. IMO it makes things even worse since these groups will congregate in secret much further away from the public eye where they can pe

Correct me if am wrong but doesn't this mean they are eventually going to move entirely to a click-bait model of acquiring readers. If this level of desperation is actually seen as acceptable for a media house, then journalism or whate

Wikipedia doesn't show you ads from Burg3rking. And am also sure they'll do just fine with/out your donation.

Remove the ads bit out of the equation and push this a payment platform for content creators. Ads on the web are not going away for a long time to come.

Okay. Allow me to rephrase it. Knowing what you know about these products, can you live without Google, Youtube, Gmail for a day? This is what I refer to above when I say 'the Internet'. I reckon most people can't go a week.

Can you go a day without the Internet? How about two days? Sadly without this tracking, the engines of the ad economy come to a stop. We have royally ducked up the ecosystem to the point where there's no fixing it. Ever. Even laws such
