Reminder: Surveillance advertising wastes significant electricity (something we should be conserving for actually worthwhile persuits):

* Downloading poorly written JS
* Running said JS
* Uploading profiling data
* Processing said data aggregated via unknown yet politically influential intermediaries
* Choosing which ads to show you
* Increasingly downloading said ads, wasting your time shoving them in your face

All in the name of getting you to buy more stuff!

@dpwiz @amiloradovsky Yes, I hate the surface web too...!

Now excuse me as I see what excellent new webpages my feedreader found for me.
