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

@jwildeboer @bert_hubert That's why I said the project seems dead, if someone else could work at it (like adding support to other IP lists like Facebook's) those ideas would already be implemented at this time. Like, it has been two years, right?

@jwildeboer @bert_hubert Sorry if you saw that as a complaint, I just felt it strange. One thing I don't like is when people mistake wanting more privacy with an anti-Google group. A video like that should at least raise some concerns to anyone who ever coded anything network-related: IMHO it looks... sounds... badly implemented either on the detection side, or on the Google side, or the website or something in between. The frequency is just too high for network requests.

That's awesome! I took it out for a little spin this afternoon, not many clicks at all!
Until I turned off adbocker and pi-hole.. then I got quite the headache!
(Plus I never knew there were so many adverts on places...)
