I put it back on and it's working, thanks for reminding me
Dont worry, I will always be the snarky asshole who talks down to people for not being like me any chance I get
My first fanart
Seriously, it's not just annoying, it's a big privacy issue.
Fun fact: it is trivially easy and costs $0 to track an individual through their ad identifier. They're not supposed to uniquely identify people, but you really just have to drill down like a dozen or so variables and you'll uniquely identify just about anyone with a smart phone.
Hey, random person for whom this describes, are you
-Aged 30-34 -White -Male -Educated -Spends a lot of time near you work address -Spends a lot of time near you home address -Spends some time where you vacation the exact time you usually vacation there -Is a 49ers fan -Likes artisanal coffee -Android user -Listens to late 90s and early 00s metal -Wears pants size 38/32.
Guess what there's like 3 of you in the world. And we can get all 3 ad ids in the real time bidding market and track all 3 of you until we deduce which one is you.
Now I know where any person for whom I perform these steps is located, basically in real time.
It's that bad. It's a well known issue with I guess too much money behind it to fix? Idk.

As long as they are used to spread malware, they are a cybersecurity risk as well.
Fair, I used it for the site but it kept not playing the audio
I think most people on the internet don’t even know what a browser extension is. Most people are not very interested in customizing or tweaking their computer beyond “push this button, stuff I want comes out.”

This really is the correct answer. I also beg you to install Ublock origin.
I too choose this guy's uBlock Origin.
And my uBlock Origin!
Dude, that's ... A reference.

"It's only sleep apnea"
technically it can't be sleep apnea unless it comes from the Apnea Mountains in the Maldives. otherwise it's just sparkling sleep deprivation.
ublock Origin or AdNauseam is the cure to your ailment. Speaking of quality of life improvements any degoogled or privacy oriented browser is also an improvement. Personally I use Zen browser, not as hardened as other browsers but good enough for me and has nice features and design aswell :)
two and a half decades into the 21st century and you're browsing without an ad blocker?
How the fuck people don't know about adblockers in 2026 will constantly astonish me.
Ublock origin or the Brave browser is so easy to use
Sleep apnea and bukake are linked? No wonder...
Sleep apnea is obviously cured by rigorous bukkake.
Hvordan går det med norsklæringen?
Det går veldig bra, takk! Allerede lærer jeg ord for klær og smykker :3
