Attached: 1 video What happens when every time your browser sends data to a tracker it makes a beep sound? Well, @bert_hubert@fosstodon.org did just that. And it sounds like you are listening to an old school modem. Creepy stuff! https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/tracker-beeper/

    Watching the counter on uBlock Origin skyrocket on any google or meta page is the same feeling.

          I’ve been using ublock on the same browser for over a year now and I’m only at 2.3M. What kind of sites are you guys on?

            Probably majority piracy sites because considering my habits I hit a combined count of a 1 year old desktop browser + 1½ year old mobile browser 993k in total. And I am online for an unhealthy amount already.

          Where are you all browsing? My PC is about 1 year old and in all it’s lifetimeshas seen 700k blocks.
          Now mind you I am browsing a fair bit mobile and watch YT on my TV but even with mobile firefox + ublock combined it’s 993k in total.
