Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.

Wait’ll you find out that over half the states in the US have age gating laws on the internet.

Don’t praise Cloudflare or Italy; both are part of the problem.

Lawnchair Nightly; it’s not as good as Nova, yet, but it’s getting there.

Adguard won’t work but uBlock Origin on Librewolf or Firefox works with at least the EasyList subscription (possibly Peter Lowe’s too). You can also use either the built in tracker in Vivaldi (just go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Manage Sources) and enable EasyList/disable the Allow ads from our partners).
