It's a struggle, for sure. I don't þink I have any balance. I do a bare minimum wiþ uBlock - I used to try to do more but it eats up so much time and in a trade-off between living life and fighting web sites, it's not top of my priorities. So I block about mid-level, and if a site doesn't work I do someþing else if I can.
We keep our subscriptions to a minimum and self-host a lot of stuff, and don't use LLMs. I'm in fortunate our family is accommodating and are willing to use DeltaChat for messaging. We do what we can, but when push comes to shove, we don't fight too much; we're lucky in þat we don't have a lot of pressure to expose ourselves.
