I'm so exhausted from constant advertisements.

I'm so tired of my information being sold off to third parties in order to deliver ads.

I'm so tired of good, useful tools and services requiring a forfeit of my privacy in order to use them.

Does anyone else wish that they could just exist without being told to buy something every 15 waking minutes?

You have pretty much summarized the thinking that led me to build:

1. my own SmartWatch

2. a tool to remove iTunes DRM so that my TV can stay offline

3. fully offline speech recognition

4. a beefy Linux workstation

5. set up a pi-hole

6. patched LineageOS to work on my phone

And now my life is pretty much ad-free :)

Don't forget to use libredirect, and ublockorigin on every browser. (libredirect will kill your shadow profiles websites collect about you)

I prefer uMatrix over uBlock. But thank you very much for telling me about libredirect :)
