Gdpr Wrapped
Spotify Wrapped for people who enjoy existential dread! Instead of celebrating your music taste, you get to celebrate how 899 cookies stalked you across the internet and your data was casually handed over to 17,203 "partners" (because apparently your browsing habits are more popular than a K-pop star). The real kicker? You clicked "Accept all" ONCE in a "real hurry" and now you're basically in a committed relationship with every ad network on the planet. And that adorable stat about only 37% of sites valuing your privacy? Chef's kiss of corporate honesty right there. But wait, there's more! You're in the top 7% of users who actually READ articles through the banner gap instead of doom-scrolling. What dedication! What commitment! What... actually questionable life choices! Meanwhile, Temu is absolutely OBSESSED with you (460 ads, bestie needs to chill). GDPR was supposed to protect us, but instead it just gave us a yearly recap of how thoroughly we've been digitally strip-searched. Happy holidays! ๐ŸŽ‰

The Death Of Ad Blocking (2025, Colorized)

The Death Of Ad Blocking (2025, Colorized)
Ah, the funeral for uBlock Origin, scheduled for July 2025. Firefox is there pointing at the tombstone like "you seeing this?" while Chrome stands nearby looking suspiciously guilty. Google's plan to kill ad blockers with Manifest V3 is basically sending flowers to its own revenue stream. Firefox users just sitting here with popcorn watching Chrome users discover what the internet looks like without ad blocking. It's like watching someone experience pop-up ads for the first time since 2005.

Nice Try, Google

Nice Try, Google
Google's eternal struggle against ad blockers has reached peak comedy. YouTube's "helpful" suggestion to disable your ad blocker is met with the perfect response from a hardened Firefox user: "No, I don't think I will." It's the digital equivalent of a restaurant suggesting you might enjoy your meal more if you paid double and watched a 30-second commercial between each bite. After years of battling popup ads and auto-playing videos, we've earned our right to browse in peace. Nice try though, YouTube... nice try.
