I’ve had people tell me that this is (their words, not mine): “mental illness”

    A few weeks ago, I would have said 100%. I am needlessly careful.

    I know I’m protecting against privacy threats that are technically possible, but unlikely. Preventing the tracking is just an interesting hobby, to me.

    But earlier this month, we learned that Meta went “all-in” on what I consider some fucked up shit - running a mini localhost server to track the vanishingly few people who bother to block their tracking.

    So now I guess I’m only about 30% sure I’m being needlessly careful.
