    can we PLEASE stop linking stuff from shit-ass sites that use quasi-malware services like Ad-Shield (the service behind the notorious html-load(dot)com, error-report(dot)com etc.)?

    These sites intentionally break and block access when a DNS based ad blocker is used. Not because the site can’t load - it actually loads perfectly fine behind the blockout - but because these fuckers intentionally unload CSS to break the site if ads won’t load… via the same exact methods web malware loads malicious scripts.

      I have some heavy DNS filtering and the site still loads fine in Vanadium on GrapheneOS. Many sites refuse to load in the way you describe and it is annoying, but I didn’t know this site was doing that.

        Interesting.

        I run my own AGH gateway at home with pretty heavy filtering, plus my iDevices have a NextDNS profile installed - and now most big tech sites do this crap…

    Wait wait - is it also advertised as a 1TB card that’s configured to show 1TB of space when you plug it in, but then it’s really just a 4GB card?
