To add, Im pretty much convinced the gov surveillance is more using the tech platforms' data collection than the gov itself doing it. That's the things I am more concerned with so avoiding their gathering is where I focus my privacy efforts mostly.

Do you have AdGuard home running for your entire network? If not, why?
Cant say Im really familiar with it.
Quick glance sounds a bit like uBlock, or is they completely different?
Would it be useful in addition to uBlock on all browsers and a private dns services on all devices? Or would it just be needlessly redundant?
uBlock has more advanced features but Ad Guard Home protects your entire network, every device such as Xbox, Smart TV's, tablets, etc
Yea that may be overkill for me. No gaming shit, my tv I only use as a monitor w wifi off. Just my server, my main pc, one pc for testing distros and some de-googled phones. Intenet service in someone else' name too so plailusible deniability
Ah. AdGuard Home could be better because you can add a bunch of known blocklists and be proactive versus being reactive with uBlock. With AdGuard, you will have protection on every network device versus only in the browser via ublock.
For example, if you run any app outside of the browser, ublock won't protect you. AdGuard would.
I'll look into it for sure. Cost is an isssue too. Got the boot over a jab injection mandate in 2022, still recovering financally and things aint quite the same making 25% of what I was accustomed to
