I just downloaded firefox focus, and etsy wont let me log in with it because it has adblocking. even to track a shipment. They even stopped putting the tracking number in the shipment email so i cant go directly to usps. Im sick of being railroaded into giving up my privacy.
I have an very long blacklist of companies for this reason.
The problem with standing up for your privacy is that it massively diminishes the resources available to you. I’m down to shopping at Costco as a single adult, because I had to say fuck you to Target recently, and my local grocery store was busy doing anti-union bullshit at the same time. So I’m driving further and probably paying more in the long run.
But they aren’t principles if you don’t have to give something up to stick by them.
