microsoft posts the urls used for ads/tracking etc

exactly what I'd want, ublock origin has an assets.json file with all their sources (:

sometimes i wanna finish setting up my dns server to block ads but I'm too lazy to find a good blocklist source to feed it.. but as it typically goes, now that i am talking abt it out loud and dragging myself for not doing it, i will look for a source

#there #it's not so hard i just gotta make time 😭 lol #w this i think I'd just need to setup a cron job that builds a list w these sources #but it'd also be nice to have a lil ui so i can toggle some instead of use All #and also a way to add domains and blocklist urls manually #and ofc the most useful pihole feature. the ability to dump dns request realtime for more fine tuned blocking if needed #basically recreating pihole lol..#but also.. ublock origin level protection network wide is p nice sounding #i got So annoyed thinking about how literally the only competition in browsers is google and firefox's browser engines #and how microsoft fucking gave up and built edge on a chromium fork like 😭#google has a vested interest in making sure u can't block ads in ur browser #but they can't do shit about them being blocked at the network level. esp if u disable ipv6 #anyways.. hate the current state of the Internet rn 😬 there needs to be more competition. but also fundamentally #ppl need to have more control over their shit #it's been too long since I've enjoyed a setup where my router asks a dns server where everything goes #which is rly nice bc as an end user device on the network one ur on u don't even have to configure or think abt anything #since it's handled at the router-level anyways. that way everyone can enjoy no ads 😌#i think I've been lazy n complacent bc on mobile i have DDG's ATP program and have hella group policies setup on windows #and some computer-level firewall configs in addition to Ublock origin on all the browsers #BUT I DON'T NEED TO DO ALL OF THAT. that is why it Needs to be handled at the net level #i do Not have the same group policy confugs n firewall rules on every conputer lol it's too much of a hassle so!#anyways.. now that i have a source the next question is When do i implement these things. which.. soon hopefully lol #i am on vacation tho n want to read n make music and buy makeup today. and write some poetry or lyrics depending on my mood later maybe
