I needed some info about some tech software thing. Went to a site and there were more ads than there was information. I guess there were too many because at one point my browser was unable to load the page.

Look, I understand the need (greed) to monetize things, but this is getting stupid.

I’m really getting to the point of proxy blocking. Anyone have a good suggestion for Safari?

@feloneouscat Privoxy? This would be system wide. It can be set and forget or extensively configured to taste. I've used it but wanted something sitewide so I use AdGuard in DNS mode -- it blackholes ad traffic.

Neither of these are Safari-specific but they'll work fine w/MacOS setups.

Back a long time ago I used Privoxy. I guess it’s time to experiment again.
