<i>&quot;If a business model wouldn’t work if users had to opt in, it deserves to fail.&quot;</i> (last line of the article)<p>Since the invisible hand of the free internet appears to be arthritic, a more visible hand (fist?) is necessary. And we have it in the way of request blockers such as uBlock Origin, wich can compleltely block Facebook&#x27;s and Google&#x27;s tracking in their tracks. As more and more people turn to subversive solutions such as privacy oriented request blockers and ad blockers, we may finally turn things around.<p>My hope is on an open source browser that is entirely privacy oriented, easy to use and adopt by non-technical users.
