Can't Stop the Signal. Poison It
- tsol 3mo agoThis is a cool idea, I like it.

- waterTanuki 3mo agoI've been telling people since 2018 that any and all attempts to "hide" from data collection is a pointless endeavor unless you're willing to live solo out in the woods. The future of privacy rests in poisoning the well of information about yourself, which is why I regularly and randomly make google searches for things I have no interest in and places I will never go or haven't been, prompts for topics pulled out of a hat, and shopping sites for things I don't want or need.
- metalman 3mo agoWhile I realy do appreciate the effort, and asthetic of this project, my personal approach is more extream. I run my internet browser with java script off, no cookies, or dom storage, and without any memory of page visits(no back button), and add blockers running,which meets my goal of not seeing ads, ever, is met. I have a second browser with java script, cookies, and dom storage turned on for certain research. And install and the deleet another one for online banking each time. I have also uninstalled the "play store" and most of the rest of the big tech apps, and have no accounts with those companys, now, or ever. My very brief forrays into the survielence net do of course reveal the extent to which I am tracked, but I dont care, as they cant put it to work. My other habbits of paying cash for most personal stuff, and leaving my phone behind for many activities deliniates my life in a way that leaves me feeling like I am in control.
- scotty79 3mo agoWhy would I want to see even worse ads? I would happily give them my dna and colonoscopy result if that meant they are gonna show me only the things I have any real chance of buying.
- TheChaplain 3mo agoNot often you encounter a site that makes scrolling choppy.
- scotty79 3mo agoSamsung browser on Android, regularly smooth.
- nottorp 3mo agoFirefox by any chance? Ran recently into another site on here that scrolled fine on anything except Firefox. And this one seems to be fine on safari.

- ethmarks 3mo agoI'm pretty sure that's because the entire <main> of the site has an 8px Gaussian blur on it: .site-main[data-astro-cid-bpoqdqeq] { backdrop-filter:blur(8px); } Why, exactly? The page looks visually identical when I disable that rule, but the performance skyrockets. I realize that it's probably vibecoded, but come on.
- throawayonthe 3mo agodoes it not affect the vignette effect? i can't test it (on the phone) but performance seems fine for me (and i have js jit disabled lol) yes they should have tested the site on firefox, but idk i wouldn't expect css gaussian blur of all things to cause slowdowns in some browsers
- gruez 3mo agoWasn't there a startup that basically did this, but instead of for privacy purposes, it was for creating fake influencer profiles you could use for marketing campaigns? This project feels like a great way to get your accounts banned from various platforms, because this is basically doing that, and platforms have at least a vague interest in banning such things. It tries to hide itself, but doesn't do a good job at it. MockLocationProvider can be easily detected, and so can UA/canvas spoofing. All of this basically screams "I'm running a bot farm", so expect it to be first in line when sites want to do a bot crackdown.

- manithree 3mo agoI like the idea (hate the site), but what does it do to my battery life?
