@prologic In case you haven't read, here's a reminder of what I built Twtxt.net and Twt.social and what it means to me and hopefully you! This type of user data collection and profiteering really is kind of awful and one day it _might_ be nice to have it outlawed! 😎

@prologic I'm pretty sure you can disable this kind of ads somewhere in LinkedIn settings so that they refer to you as 'LinkedIn Member' rather than using your name or don't display them at all (not 100% sure though, I haven't seen them myself for a while).

@lukem More to the _point_ though, how/why did this come up in the first place? Who's selling data to who to serve me such an ad given recent events?! 😂 It's disgusting! 🤣

@prologic also, I think I once wrote custom uBlock rules to hide stuff I don't care about on LI so I lost an ability to answer that kind of questions in a constructive way. :( But yeah, I get your point and I agree it's gross.

@lukem To be fair I run AdGuardHome in my home network which becomes the primary DNS resolvers for all clients (*wired and wireless*) in my home (_except the servers in my server room_), so I must have had Ad blocking turned off at the time 🤣 (_not sure I would have normally seen any ads at all!_)

@prologic Never heard of this, looks similar to Pi-hole on my Raspberry Pi. But DNS blocking doesn't block 100% of unwanted stuff. First-party or proxied ads still need to be taken care of with browser extensions.

@lukem Yeah it is pretty similar. And I agree, it doesn't cover 100% of cases. What browser extensions do you use/recommend here?

@prologic uBlock Origin for Chrome or Firefox and uBlock Origin Extra for anything Chromium-based. If you learn how to create custom rules (either point'n'click within the extension or writing basic regexes) you essentially possess a superpower.

@lukem thanks! That sounds really nice and useful I’ll check it out 🤞
