After the "Housekeeping" this weekend

Thought I'd post a few screen shots of what the TBN site looks like after the "housekeeping" this weekend.

rScotty - I'm on Mac with Catalina and Opera. My screen shot looks just like Diggin It. The only thing I run is Add Block +. I get the exact same screen shot if I call up TBN on Safari.

They have a business version that brings in their main funds.

Also, read this to get an idea of how to manage the one setting to switch OFF.

Is Ghostery safe to use?

I've heard about Ghostery, a browser extension/plugin that blocks web trackers. But according to this link it sells our data. Are add-ons and plugins open source in Firefox? Is there another alter...
