These days? I’ve been using it for years, alongside uBO. It’s astounding how many trackers and third-party sources pop up on many websites. I pissed off my last live-in girlfriend by having a pihole and blocking anything Facebook owns at the router level. She had to use mobile data for her addiction to Facebook and Instagram. But I’m not letting that tracking pixel into my home.

You get used to a page not loading, checking NoScript and whitelisting the site (temporarily). When that unleashes the additional 15-20 sites that also want access to MY computer, I look for another source. Like, I can accept they’re using a CDN, but past that, it’s stealing my bandwidth just for data harvesting, and I’ve gotten too old for that shit.
