How to Block All Ads, Reclaim Your Privacy, and Fight the Algorithms That Rule the Internet

Quick and easy ways to win online

Having now spent more than two decades of my life online — I attended an early online high school while still on dial-up! — I’ve come to the conclusion that the Internet is like God: The experience isn’t the same for any two people.

Sadly, for most of us, the internet has become a highly-toxic, anxiety-inducing, privacy-eroding, sleep-robbing, work-distracting, ad-blitzing, time-devouring wormhole to nowhere. (Or, you know, believing the earth is flat.)

The fact is that we’re simply no match for the addiction algorithms that now rule the web. We’re too weak for the internet… or rather, the internet is too strong for us. Is it possible to flip the switch?

Is it possible to create a lifelong internet experience that’s enjoyable, private, low-anxiety, and time-controlled, with zero ads and minimal tracking, that actually contributes to your bottom-line life goals?

Yesterday I wrote an article about why we should ban all advertising.

But clearly that’s never going to actually happen.

So today, I’m going to show you the quick and easy ways that you can eliminate all ads and addiction algorithms from your devices and protect your online life. Do these things, and you’ll literally save years of life.

And it only takes seconds to implement. In fact, it will take you less time to start enjoying an ad-free Internet than it will take to finish reading this article — it’s that simple.
