Oh my… being curious, I tried the built-in webbrowser of the Gnome desktop, which used to be called “Epiphany”, and which is now simply called “Web”. And with that browser, I started viewing a well-known site full of trackers, which is spiegel.de
This got me more or less immediately:
Really? Selling a free product for 0 (zero) Euro? On which you can install Windows in parallel? (Hint: you can’t – Windows always has to be installed first in case you want that)
Oh my oh my – I really hope that no one ever falls for things like these. And most importantly: do never, I repeat *never* ever click on one of those links, in no browser – that these people are up to no good is obvious.
That was a short experiment – and now I’m back to Librewolf, which is a correctly configured Firefox with uBlock Origin already installed. There are others, like Mullvad, Zen, and the likes, or you could even use Firefox itself in case you want to configure it for security and privacy yourself, and don’t forget to install uBlock Origin in that case – you won’t even see that crap like above.
Never again… isn’t it time to overcome capitalism, and to stop all that ad crap once and for all?
And like always, thanks for reading.
