My girl was looking for a dress for Halloween. Yesterday she found one on Amazon for € 35 and put it in the cart, but did not buy it. Today she looked it up again and it was € 50 so she asked me to look it up with my phone with my Amazon account - it turned out to be € 23 for me, less than half of what it’s for her!

    Adblock premium cost is wildly different based on location.

    Using a VPN I have found everything from $15/yr to $40/yr

      You’re paying for an ad blocker? uBlock origin is free and fully featured.

      that’s just regional pricing. it makes sense and is pretty standard.

      I pay for Mullvad VPN, that’s €60/yr ($65)

      I know it’s much but I prefer mailing them a letter with the money to stay anonymous

        I am using mullvad vpn as well.

        I am saying that AdBlock premium has a different cost based on your location, which you can switch with your VPN.

          Use uBlock origin instead. Cost is $0 forever, and it has the best adblocking by far.

          You can augment that with an NextDNS account to do ad filtering at the DNS level. It is a pay service technically, but their free tier is very generous.

        I buy IVPN sub with Monero, so it’s private. I’mma try Mullvad next time.
