A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ghostery isn't even an ad blocker, it's just to prevent tracking.
Ghostery does work as an ad blocker too, and advertises (eh) itself as such.
Plus, for corporate nowadays, tracking and advertisement are two steps of the same process.
Oh OK my bad, that was news to me. I stopped using it a couple of years ago when Firefox got the functionality built in, and it wasn't advertised as an ad blocker back then.
