Yet another reminder that everyone everywhere should be blocking all ads all the time. I don't say that lightly as absolutes tend to not be the appropriate solution, but an absolute stance of blocking ads is appropriate.

100%, this has been my soap box for years.

A very easy, effective, multi-layer setup:

1. Browser adblocker

2. Pi hole running locally

3. Pi hole at your home network router level

And 4, not as easy but effective, a firewall like Little Snitch

Edit: the other good news is your old data loses value quickly, so starting today is still very effective: you haven’t missed the boat yet!
