Yes it is a theory about a conspiracy. However, it's not a "conspiracy theory".
A "conspiracy theory" is, by definition, lunatic - e.g. chemtrails, fake moon landing, vaccine microchips
A plausible theory about a conspiracy is not a "conspiracy theory" - e.g. Epstein didn't kill himself, environmentalists protesting a cycling event are a false flag op. These may be wrong; they may be ardently believed without sufficient evidence; but they are reasonable explanations for the given facts.
I do believe it is you, hiya! I'm being perverse as a matter of policy.
I try not to get too invested in identities anyway. I look at the user if I need the context to evaluate their frame - but usually, you know when you're reading insightful commentary.
Agreed, although I prefer pihole on a separate device. DNS blocking is best blocking.
Adware can detect that crap isn't loaded, but it is indistinguishable from the crap server being down. Normal page blocking is a lot more detectable, so assume pages then instruct you to disable your blocker.
Forsooth, this cipher speaketh not in tongues
Of men and servers of this era born;
Unknown and babbling, let this wretch be shunned
And do his SSL connexion scorn.
