Thanks for the feedback. We actually have those behaviors already functional in our RES plugin equivalent, called RESAE.

However it currently only works in chrome and requires chrome extensions to be in 'developer mode' to install the zip file for RESAE. You can see more info here: https://antiextremes.com/r/AntiExtremes/comments/3e/information_about_resae_antiextremes_version_of/

We may eventually try to build those features directly in to the site, and we are working to get RESAE in to the extensions store so developer mode is not necessary, but for now we're using this setup with RESAE to give us lots more features. Check it out!

Firefox here, trying my best to keep google from getting my information, haha. But if you guys decide to put out a Firefox extension, I would definitely be interested!

blocking all the google trackers? every other site has them.

trying my best

Also, because they are actively attempting to gather a catalogue of information on the American public, they will eventually succeed (unless something changes, such as legislation being passed).

My argument is that we shouldn't make it easy for them, and attempting to restrict our usage of their platforms means the harder they have to work for that particular information, given a small population. Once you have a bunch of people that will willingly advertise for you for free, I feel that power kinda goes out the window too.

Perhaps I am being slightly idealistic, but if I want to see change in the world, surely I should attempt to live that change?

i just wanted to point towards those, so you can install/add a script, which blocks these trackers, to your firefox version ;)
