    I have been wondering why there isn’t a kind of proxy sandwich filter app (a privacy wrapper) that can intercept and respond to certain functions or IP’s with a generic or random response if it fails without it. Like a sandboxed ublock and fingerprint randomizer and DNS filter with a proxy on both ends so it can’t touch your stuff unless you want it to.

      The long and short is that ad companies own the internet now.

      Doing something like that would be feasible until the app developers don’t counter it, and then it devolves into an arms race, but the OS you’re developing for and the browser is owned by an ad company.

      It would be the Manifest V3 situation on steroids.

      Newpipe does similar to this in a way. They scrape YouTube and only give you what you want, nothing else.
