that’d be great but i’m pretty sure like 90% of chrome users don’t even know what an extension or even an adblocker is. they’ll just keep using chrome because that’s the browser everyone else uses unfortunately

…i know that all too well. my family is unfortunately religious and a few years ago they found out that i had a crush on my best friend. so i had to do this straight conversion therapy shit. i only made it last a day though by telling my mom that i had a crush on a girl in my class (i lied).

probably not. i might just not plug it in and see how it goes. if it doesn’t work out, i guess i’ll have to DNS block its tracking from a openwrt pi

my parents and siblings enjoy the convenience of alexas and the fact that they can play music. i’ve tried suggesting an actual intercom system and they’re against it

that’s sounds great! thanks for telling me

thanks for the suggestion! as for nextDNS, i was already thinking of using this however you cannot change the DNS servers used on alexa devices. i was thinking of setting up openWRT on a pi and using that as a router specifically for our alexa devices with a nextDNS profile installed, but im not sure if alexa’s default to the router’s DNS or amazon’s. even if it does use the router’s DNS, does it backup to Google’s DNS (8.8.8.8) like Roku does?

sorry for asking a question about privacy in a privacy community. i can’t just not use it because my parents are forcing me to use it. if i was allowed to unplug it, i would.

it’s pretty bad but i’d definitely take it over where i live (oklahoma). aside from like 5… maybe 6(?) people in my school, everyone is homophobic. it’s hell

I’m starting to think there wasn’t one to begin with… I’ve been talking about this to a close friend of his, and he said that he does gay things sometimes but isn’t gay.

i wish i did have some news, man. i’ve never found a good time to tell him. even so, im so worried he won’t want to be friends with me anymore if he does turn out to be homophobic
