This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Ublock origin is the only way to fly these days. I've walked a few family members through using the Element Zapper and explained how the plugin identifies which domain is loading the content and why websites do that now. They've all taken to it pretty well.
Having a default backup browser for sites that give too much grief when they can't get all of their spyware to work correctly definitely keeps me sane and made adoption less stressful for the uninitiated. I give myself three or four tries to make a shitty site work before either abandoning the site and trying an alternative or, if it's important and necessary, loading it raw in the backup browser.
+1 for LibreWolf too. Dope project.
