Thanks for the advise. I use youtube-dl, especially for videos that I plan
on playing again.
The big problem trying to evade tracking is that the business models of these
companies depend on it. You don't realize its pervasiveness until you try to
avoid it. I will take a look at blender. Firegloves is very good...I don't
know if anyone has picked off where the initial developers left off. It would
be nice to have an option to whitelist certain websites, for example.
I would rather not enable any cookie from google :)
