#2I'm all for blocking surveillance but how tiring is it to block JavaScript as suggested and then watch the majority of the internet not work?

Doing that for years

It really isn't. I've been blocking all JavaScript for years now, selectively allowing what is essential for sites to run or using a private session to allow more/investigate/discover. Most sites work fine without their 30 JS sources, just allowing what is hosted on their own domain. It takes a little effort, but it's a fair price to pay to have a sane Internet.
The thing is - with everything - it's never easy to have strong principles. If it were, everyone would do it.

#5Google Tag Manager and the whole consent management platform certification business is nothing more than a shakedown. It's racketeering.

It's easier than I thought. I just use uBlock Origin with everything blocked by default and then allow selectively.

#7> surveillanceware
I thought the term was spyware.
Surveillanceware almost sounds like something necessary to prevent bad stuff. Is this corporate rebranding to make spyware software sound less bad?

#8Blocking Google Tag Manager script injection seems to have few side effects.
Blocking third party cookies also seems to have few side effects.
Turning off Javascript breaks too much.

About as tiring as hearing about it all the time. Thank god it's a fringe topic these days but this article snuck it in. Probably the constant use of the word "surveillance" was an early tell haha.

Whitelisting JS has worked on my end for a while.
I won't browse the Internet on my phone without it, everything loads instantly and any site that actually matters was whitelisted years ago.
