there's often a lot of extra JavaScript that gets called, mostly for tracking

Do you mean that your tool (whatever you use) can selectively block some JS while admitting others on one website?

Well, I recently left uBO for AdNauseam because it actively attacks advertisers by clicking every link (thereby leading to garbage data that messes up their stats), but it can't operate with uBO simultaneously. I'll see what I can do to copy this approach since I can't seem to find a whitelist-only-JS feature in it...

Dang it... I'm starting to feel the appeal now, lol! Hmm.

It's crazy that you're being downvoted. I guess they avoid The Atlantic, etc. as well, despite the helpful info in such articles.

Doing so would break nearly all Internet access. Do you really run a whitelist rather than a blacklist? Is it not tedious to add hundreds of domains to one rather than a few to the other?

Wait, so you literally have hundreds of accounts? How do you manage them all?

For what it's worth, I'm Asian and I had no idea that this was a derogatory word towards Asians and it doesn't bother me.

Thanks, I have more to learn about this topic!

Going open-source was the biggest single factor in immediately swaying me over here from Thunder (well, it was really the multi-community feed feature, but closed-source is what held me back). Thanks for being transparent!

Right, but I think it'd be harder to get it to unlearn the wrong data if the topic itself is obscure.

None of which I know...

Let me introduce you to something known as military time (which, yes, even exists in the US)...
