With a looming iron-grip marketers and advertisers have over pretty much anything in their reach, why aren’t the masses collectively making harassment campaigns to them?

I think if we actively told every single marketer off in a prolonged effort, they’d get a hint as to how much of their commercialism we don’t need shoved down our throats.

      Word of warning - you will have more bandwidth usage since the ad clicks are being loaded in the background sandbox, so be careful if you have something like a capped data plan for things such as smartphones.

        And that sandbox is secure, right? Aside from the fact that advertizing is unconsentual and drives consumerism, the main reason i have all ads everywhere blocked with no exceptions is because im not about to have ransomware injected onto my device because google doesnt vet their advertizers. Im down to screw the advertizers, but I dont want them having any access to my hardware or my software quite honestly.

        Not a computer scientist, but sandboxes have always confused me. Software level i can understand, but it is still physcially running in your machine so i would imagine there is malware that could still effect your hardware.
