Hi!
It doesn’t make sense at all. Blocking ads & trackers is not a good approach to achieve privacy. It’s quite weak actually for many reasons…
First of all, because enumeration badness doesn’t work; it’s not possible to create a list of every possible “malicious domain”. And even if it was possible, websites could develop their own first party tracking and then share the information to third parties like Google or Facebook.
Second of all, because apps and websites can detect what domains are blocked, thus they -or malicious actors- will able to uniquely identify users more easily.
Third of all, because extensions add more attack surface since they use privileged script in order to work.
I can totally see how Madaidan can cause fear, uncertainty, and doubt. When I read, for example, his criticisms of Linux, I felt not only that, but also disappointment. You for sure have good reasons to dislike Madaidan and either GraphenOS or the Lemmy GrapheneOS community. But I don’t know them. Could you explain a bit why Madidan and GrapheneOS (or it’s Lemmy community) are problematic? Your answer would help me see what you see :)
And please, don’t listen to TheAnonymouseJoker. He is known as a troll in basically every privacy community
Here, “every privacy community” refers to NoGoolag and SpiteChat Telegram/Mtarix rooms, both places where madaidan is an admin and his entire pack of extremely racist people shitpost all day. It may also refer to r/privacytoolsio, where blacklight and madaidan seem to be close, toxic friends that call each other for brigading anyone who criticises them. blacklight, r/PTIO mod, once even attacked me after I was banned by trai_dep, the monster in the privacy community.
Requesting is not begging, hence the purpose of c/community_requests
You seem like an angry person replying out of hate. I’m sorry for whatever it is that happened to you to be this way. It doesn’t give you a right to attack, harass and bully people.
It’s highly discouraged to add further add ons on Tor since you will be more easily fongerprintable.
The only thing you should change on Tor are security settings, nothing else.
It makes sense for it to have a built in ad-blocker. Any idea why they don’t do that?

That’s why Tor doesn’t use any ad-blocker.

Madaidan FUD detected once again.

The only FUD around here is you @TheAnonymouseJoker@lemmy.ml
Surely not gonna take the words of !grapheneos@lemmy.ml moderator, are you, readers? This person moderates the GrapheneOS community here.
I would like to tell you that you even begged for moderating TheHatedOne and GrapheneOS communities here. Reveals a lot about you more than me.

Quite the leap there, with the abuser claims. Be careful with the projection and the sarcasm, it might burn you a little on the inside.
You are just revealing about yourself as you continue to reply to me.
