These people literally live in reaffirming social bubbles they have created. On and offline both. They don't see that they are overplaying their hand.

This article should bring you joy.

So, I'm using IronFox on Android with uBlock Origin on medium mode. Not an ad or other problem to be seen on that site. On Windows I use LibreWolf with the same uBlock setup.

These are aggressive setups that can break some sites, but after a while of tweaking it carefully you don't notice it's there anymore.

I'd be humiliated were I him. His head's so far up his ass he likely sees that cameo as a plus.
