Spread the word brother. You're doing lord's work

I think I saw this mentioned in another thread, but doesn't WEI also break pihole?

Yes it can break pihole too, iirc. Not sure of the exact nature of it, but basically it checks that you loaded the page as intended. If resources are blocked, it didn't load as intended.

If resources are blocked, it didn't load as intended.

Yeah it did

It didn't load as the feudal lords who hate your property rights and think they're entitled to colonize your computer for their own benefit intended.

WEI doesn't do that at all. It only can validate that the browser is what it claims to be.

That's not to say WEI isn't bad. It will make it near impossible for new browsers to gain market share and create privacy issues.

Plus hosts. I haven’t seen an ad in many years.

Many consumer routers have Ad blocking settings also. I know Asus and UniFi both have it.
