LPT: turn off "auto display images" in your email to stop hidden read receipt trackers
I typically use the Apple Mail macOS client and it has some built-in proxy feature to block trackers that I recommend using. I also developed the MailTrackerBlocker plugin if that feature doesn’t work for you for some reason (older macOS version, etc).

Why does Pocket (owned by Mozilla) have tracking elements embedded in their email newsletters?
I employ Mail Tracker Blocker on macOS Apple Mail and I see that this plug in is blocking something. So, why does Pocket, which is owned by Mozilla, a privacy forward company, have trackers in their "Pocket Hits" newsletter?

All Fritz Box modems have been hijacked
Block 45.76.93.104 and 2001:19f0:6c00:1b0e:5400:4ff:fecd:7828 at the firewall if possible.
Ensure that DNS-over-HTTP (DoH) is enabled where it can be.
Set upstream DNS servers that block malware, such as 1.1.1.2 or NextDNS
Delete "fritz.box" from the domain search list in DNS settings.
Educate your parents to be cautious about directly typing domain names or searching from the OmniBox.

Ask HN: Which tools are the best for internet safety for kids?
I've tried hosted Pi-Hole and AdGuard Home. They are good as long as I'm around to fix stuffs. Then I tested something which can be global (home) and also for individual devices -- Control-D, NextDNS, and Adguard DNS. All of them works pretty well. If I really have to choose, then it would be in the order of NextDNS > Control-D > AdGuard DNS. Affiliated with none, and have decided to subscribe to all three to further test them for this year.

Ask HN: Unblockable Google Search Ads?
I first used Safari on Windows around 2006. Put me off forever.
You just need Firefox and the extensions that mean ads are never seen.
That said, take a look at https://nextdns.io

AdGuard Home + Tailscale = Erase Ads on the Go
I'm using NextDNS which can be integrated into TailScale MagicDNS. It works seamlessly. You may need to pay if you have a high usage rate. I pay for the Pro version but that's less than $30 CAD a year. I did have in house Raspberry PI and Pi-Hole DNS but it was a lot of work.
