This is AFTER debloating all the MS bs as much as I can.

The amount of MS telemetry is just mindboggling.

    Same thing when you block something with ublock. It’s an annoying user-unfriendly practice. Google does the same thing

      Is that user unfriendly? In the desired path where the resource isn’t blocked the options are display an error or try again.

      When a request goes to PiHole it just gets redirected to a bad address, so the application hasn’t got any idea why it isn’t working. In most cases a programmer just adds a retry with exponential back off and goes on with their work, because there’s no real cost to doing that for analytics or advertising code.
