     @dragestil Ah yes, the consequences of proprietary software.

     @Suiseiseki Yup, unfortunately. Same with ads and tracking. Many tend to look for the best half measures like ad blockers and browser extensions, while ignoring the foolproof method of avoiding proprietary apps and blocking all (nonfree) JavaScript or choosing a free browser that does not support js.
