uBlacklist: block SEO, clickbait garbage from Google search

Shutup.css: blocks comments on all websites; I enable it on websites (such as lemmy) in which the website is dedicated to discussion. This prevents me from seeing stupid MSN like comments.

AdBlock: Blocking ads. They are slow, they are annoying, they follow you and I hate them.

Privacy.com cards: Lets me lock a card and certain amount to a website I may or may not trust, and prevents them from charging more than I state. Has been VERY useful for Amazon Eero in which they keep auto subscribing me to eero Plus and β€œdon't know what happened on their end”.


This is more so related to Xbox, but:

Filtering all messages from people who aren't my friends into a separate inbox that doesn't notify me. Blocking party invites from people who aren't my Xbox friends (prevents assholes in Overwatch from DDoS).

Block freely and block often.

Probably nothing since I have no free time πŸ˜•

Remove anonymity.

I’m not advocating for that. The internet would be a boring dystopia, but it sure as shit would be nicer if every statement could be tied back to a real person.

Would it? Facebook is a cesspool.

I doubt even a third of facebooks profiles can be easily traced to a real person. Be that as it may, I answered the wrong question so it’s a bit of a moot point.

Don't participate or be involved in the most popular online communities. I find once an online community reaches a threshold it goes to shit. Finding your niche people online is the best way to finding a nice place you belong.

Provide detailed help troubleshooting people's tech problems.

My response might become helpful to many people in the future, even if it doesn't help the person who originally asked the question.

Run a pihole and block degenerates

Stop feeding off what is given to you and look for and search for quality, informative, objective content that is not manipulated to play with you emotions.

The internet is many things other than just a place to waste away your time, energy and awareness of the world.

Argue with random people on the Internet so they can see how cool I am and how smart my ideas are.
