    Rather than rely on an extension, I think I would add the publicly listed up ranges to my hosts file. That will blackhole any connections where a browser extension wouldn't actually stop anything until it was being processed by the extension.

    The term soaring is pretty relative in this case. It's still completely unknown to the majority of the world. It's just like Lemmy, where the very few rigid types that absolutely couldn't stand for one particular thing that happened to their social network will do anything, including cutting their nose off to spite their face rather than continue to use it. That's why we're all here and it's why nobody else but us are coming.

    Coincidentally accurate comment for me. Just had a tooth that I had grown very fond over the years removed and left vacant because of the cost associated with replacing it rivaling that of cars I've bought in the past. As the teeth shift and get loose because of the missing soldier, I'll just have to allow them to fall out or have them pulled until I can have dentures made up.

    I have dental insurance, it's just none of that necessary tooth replacement if you want to keep the rest of your teeth stuff is covered.
