You can't stop the tracking these days, it's becomed too embedded in all online activity. The only solution is to cut yourself off from the network.
Even with VPN's and anti-tracking browser plugins they can still gather contextual data. Duckduckgo makes a lot of claims, but their impact is minimal. Rather than work around the problem, we need to raise the issue politically. But for whatever stupid fucking reason, you would rather bend over backwards than do anything about it. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/trump-signs-measure-let-isps-sell-your-data-without-consent-n742316 https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-switch/wp/2017/03/29/what-to-expect-now-that-internet-providers-can-collect-and-sell-your-web-browser-history/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.fb527d1a5d44 It's a political problem now. You can't fix it with VPN's and anti-track software. A side effect of youth is ambition. The desire to impact the world around you. A side effect of age is complacency. Avoiding issues and making excuses for being "too busy to solve that problem" It's all just young people selling old people's data. These tech companies view everyone over the age of 40 as a resource to be "consumed", and it goes wayyyy beyond the IP address.
