Missed the most important tool, Pihole! Thanks to Pihole I was able to easily identify and block all the Microsoft analytics events.
// Set a fake timeout to get the highest timeout id
var highestTimeoutId = setTimeout(function() {});
for (var i = 0 ; i < highestTimeoutId ; i++) {
clearTimeout(i);
}
What I'm missing and would really love is a way to automatically disable all javascript timers when a page is loaded, so those annoying delayed popups would be disabled.
I'd just want to automatically run something like this on each page:
// Set a fake timeout to get the highest timeout id
var highestTimeoutId = setTimeout(function() {});
for (var i = 0 ; i < highestTimeoutId ; i++) {
clearTimeout(i);
}
Maybe I need to write a browser plug-in.
I believe PiHole also modifies the /etc/hosts file, but I'm not positive. And raspberry pi's are still in short supply. That's bullshit.
/etc/hosts blacklists on Mac and Linux. Maps certain DNS names to localhost so that they don't work:
Search (on non-Google search engines of course) for "/etc/hosts blacklists"

Brave browser ( https://brave.com/ ) has easy blocking of annoying page elements by CSS selector: (works great against Wikipedia nagware!)
If you learn a bit of CSS you can make it do amazing blocking for you: https://www.w3schools.com/css/default.asp
