It garbles advertisers’ data as a result, but you must disable uBlock Origin to run it; they can’t work simultaneously. I recently moved to it and, so far, am never looking back!

    I think we’re far past caring about a website logging an IP address.

      I’m past caring about giving my IP to a website that I want to use, but what this is doing is handing out your information to every single advertiser that is published on any page you visit. In some cases this plugin would match the definition of “leaking personal data”.

      You do you though. I won’t stop you.

        Most people dont have static IPs. All the ads would see is web requests from random residential ips from a certain country.

          I don’t know about NZ (or wherever you are), but IP addresses for residential access in the US don’t really change all that much. It’s… concerning.

            Every 10,000 miles. Or after you hit 40. Before putting it on?

            Shit. I know this one… uh…
