MODERATORS
I didn't downvote. I will tell you the site will not open with JShelter enabled. With that off there is a no opt-out cookie banner and the site uses Googletagmanager.
So it doesn't seem at all privacy friendly.
ETA: I looked at it again in a Chromium browser and my firewall logs are a mess, I stopped counting at 20 different blocklists. Ads, tracking, privacy, it hits all of them. Avoid.
And the no opt-out should be illegal where I live.
https://ipx.ac/run and https://www.deviceinfo.me/ seems to give much the same info with none of the google or cookie stuff
One good thing that came from this post is I learned about Jshelter and have decided to give it a go.
Had not heard of JShelter before, thanks.
