And what can we do to make the Internet a more safe and privacy friendly place and replace the ad business by something less unpleasant ?

    We care about your privacy which is why we are sharing your date with almost 1000 services 998 of which are fully redundant and only 1 is actually needed for the service we provide

      lmao I love when they say “we care about your privacy” then they go on to say exactly how much data they’re gonna collect and process

        Legitimate interests don’t require a banner. The simple fact you see a banner means their lawyers know they couldn’t convince the dumbest judge that they actually need that stuff.

      To Raymond Hill, we owe SO MUCH.

      And the list maintainers of course! (Who often accept donations whereas gorhill has always refused even a penny!)

    I think I saw 1500 this week somewhere…

    All I want to know is, how can it be profitable to be an ad broker at that point?

        It doesn’t even say they care about your privacy, they aren’t even trying to hide it.

      It’s the worst site. Every time I need to scroll all the way to the bottom to click Accept. It’s like they made it that way on purpose.

      Sure. I’m a fanatical ad-blocker myself, but sometimes using Tor browser with the defaults.

    I ususally have them blocked, but on some news site I remember seeing 750+ and off it wanted you to manually unchecked all of them one by one.

    Whenever I see a cookie banner say something like “We respect your privacy” I chuckle.

    Because if they would actually respect my privacy, they wouldn’t have had a banner in the first place.

    I think I recently saw ~840 somewhere.

    To replace the current big tech business, I have a few suggestions:

    1. Use FOSS (Free and open source software)
    2. If this is not possible, try to find software that does not invade your privacy and made by a smaller company
    3. Try to avoid paying privacy invading companies. I’m not saying never pay for proprietary software, but try to only spend the money on ones that respect you.
    4. Spread the word about good FOSS apps
    5. Donate to FOSS
    6. Vote for politicians who are serious about antitrust
    7. If you have the skills, contribute to FOSS or make your own software!
    8. Use adblockers on websites that don’t respect you and/or your privacy
