First, let me state this: I have nothing against ads, sponsors, etc.. I also want to support every Site I visit. But what worries me is ads that track me, and how it might be the case that scores of third-parties may or may not have their own privacy policies. I trust all of you here. But currently, I see no easy way to whitelist a Site whose members I know well, on one level or another, while still blocking Sites ads' and Scripts that can be (VERY) harmful, that also use the same Scripts and/or services like Amazon or Google for analytics. Also, my Computer business is still on the runway, not taking off... I get one client every year. So you can imagine how I can't support people's Websites via donation either. It's because of my parent working all their life that I can live off of something.... This isn't to garner pity. I'm actually progressing, little-by-little. But what I am trying to say is that every time I see a message like I just saw, I feel bad. I don't like Trackers, but I also don't like not helping people pay for their free-to-visit Websites. And, @Rob, I want to know how to do this. Is there any way I can support this Website without third parties tracking me? I have a working knowledge-set on how the Internet works, but when it comes to the small things like Scripts and reading Network traffic, I'm not as good..... I started using an Adblocker because of the PUPs I got, and because of redirection to Servers that downloaded Files to my Drive.... But they may use the same analytics Platform you use, you know? People assume that those who use Adblockers hate ANY ads. I don't.... People have to make a living. I like privacy-respecting ads, or, if I know the people who own the Site(s), I don't mind whitelisting them.... Any ideas guys? Thank you for taking the time to read this.....
