It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

Ah great
Uh, wait a minute. 🤔
Sending a request also uses bandwidth, you know.
A basic GET request, even with a long querystring, will be negligible even on a 1998 dial-up connection.
Right, but thousands of them, possibly every day? Could perhaps affect your data consumption on your phone e.g. 🤷♂️
Edit: I got it guys, thanks.
I don’t know of any data plan that limits on the upload. Caps are usually on the download side, and TFA says it does not download the server response.
You aren’t terribly familiar with how much traffic we generate nowadays… are you? If we were still on 2G and isdn / dsl sure. You’d likely see a slight latency jump. On anything from this last decade+ ? Not a chance.
I’m not, am I. I hadn’t done any calculations regarding this. It was strictly hypothetical, as you can probably tell from the question mark and 🤷♂️. 👍
I’ll be honest - you weren’t really presenting your case in that way. Understand my confusion: you seemed pretty adamant about your concern with no backing data on it. Most people pick their hills with something to back them.
It’s not really a hill for me to begin with lol.
That’s kind of my point - just based on the reception it’s clear that a number of people were perceiving that as one. Normally that’s the “pump the brakes” or the “hol up 🖐️🖐️” moment where you clarify.
Okay, fine, not enough to matter. Are you satisfied with that?
“I have drawn YOU as the soyjack and ME as the chad, therefore you lose the argument”
Are you autistic?
Yeah.
Is that a fucking problem?
It is when you’re being rude for no reason.
Using autistic as a derogatory slur is rude for no reason.
what a rude thing to say, especially considering I wasn’t talking to you.
I’m gonna keep it that way, best of luck baiting someone else champ.
I mean, that image is pretty rude, too.
Jesus, you got defensive quick and hard. Sorry I rustled you.

lol
furthermore: lmao.
you’ve got to try a lot harder to “rustle” me, but I like your moxie for thinking you did, sport
doing the math, even the cheapest phone plans that don’t explicitly exclude data, nowadays include at least 1GB of data for free. Usually more. Almost any reachable amount of outbound requests to click on ads would barely put a dent in your data allowance.
Now the name calling. Cool, dude.
I’ll concede the data plan dent thing; I hadn’t done any math regarding that. Thanks for clarifying that to me and everyone else!
But you did say “none” so I just pointed out the fact that it’s not none. It’s some. I wasn’t wrong to point that out. No matter how much of a stickler you find me for that.
But that’s no reason to post images implicitly depicting me to be some kind of fat nerd.
You’re a rude person. Autistic or not.
I accept your concession, better luck next time.
pedantry is pedantry, if you interject with “well ACKSHUALLY” over literally a couple kilobytes of data in this, the Year Of Our Lord 2025 where common storage device sizes are in the multiple terabyte range, and 100mbps down/10 up is exceedingly common, expect to be called one. It is functionally none, because it is not 1993.
can’t even come up with your own insult for me, just gonna steal that sad attempt at bait from the other guy? how… underwhelming, must do better. 🤡
Huh?
K.
Those are your words, not mine. 😛
I was talking about data sent over a network, not stored on disk. 🤷♂️
My god. I’m not “out to get you” here, this isn’t Reddit, will you fucking relax, dude? I thought you said that you were autistic? Maybe I misinterpreted you. Maybe it was someone else.
All good now? Ready to drop the insults? ❤️
You definitely seem rustled.
