The voyager client has filters you could use to try and filter things out.

You should be able to do that with a ublock origin filter.

Maybe ask on the community: !ublockorigin@lemmy.ml

I have already answered you, but I just noticed that my Android client has that feature already. My client is Voyager

I think maybe whatever client you use could build this functionality.

Is the database of websites installed locally in the extension or is it calling home for every website I visit?

You can download videos and cut off sponsored moments in the video with sponsorblock.

GrayJay is pretty good!

Alternatively, in a similar fashion. Use “hail” to auto pause any app you want so they don’t run in the background unintended.

It’s complicated.

He said torrent, not tor.

That’s wrong. Youtube dislike has its own database, and infers the bumber of dislikes based on the number of dislike it got and its userbase.

The plug-in stopped working because youtube changed its layout. It’s coming back.

Even with inflation. Answering captchas for 8 hours a day will get you maybe 100$ a month.

Those “jobs” are meant for third world countries. Even then it’s a pretty low pay.

Answering captchas pays much much less than that.

Beehaw defederated with lemmy.world and sh.itjust.works because both of those instances allow(ed?) registering without email verification/captcha. They said it is bringing bots and spams. Haven’t seen this issue personally. I recommend being a member of an instance that still federates with both lemmy.world/sh.itjust.works and Beehaw.

When using a browser they can get your user agent (https://www.whatsmyua.info) They can also get some information about your device, like pixel resolution, screen size (https://www.whatismyscreenresolution.org), gpu (https://hardwaretester.com/gpu) etc…

All of those data combined make a fingerprint for your browser, that can be more or less unique.

I recommend having a look here for more information about how fingerprinting works and how to protect from it, and to see how “unique” your browser is (https://coveryourtracks.eff.org).

When using an app, it’s a whole lot more complicated to escape from it, but one step I can recommend, is to delete your phone advertisement id (https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/how-disable-ad-id-tracking-ios-and-android-and-why-you-should-do-it-now).

That been said, from my own reddit gdpr export, it doesn’t look like reddit is doing any fingerprinting of that sort. I haven’t looked so close at it yet, however.
