This is a Chrome extension I made that adds various UI enhancements to Google Scholar's case law search. Features include: a quick-view window for easy navigation, multicolored search-term highlighting and hash-marking, cited case highlighting, clickable search-result snippets, pin-cite recognition in case links, clickable search terms for cycling through occurrences, Bluebook citation cleanup, and two-columned printing.
I thought there was a comment in there listing some other news sites that did this (besides CNN), but I skimmed and I can't find it now so I'm probably misremembering.
Seems a bit disingenuous to lump Segment in with ad pixels etc.? We don't use it, but I know of several other SaaS apps who use them to integrate their web app with support tools like Intercom etc. If you block Segment in these cases, sure the web app will work, but the in app chats etc. won't.
True, but segment provides many integrations and the user won't know where that data is getting sent or for what purpose. See the list of advertisers with integrations here: https://segment.com/catalog

You are confusing the writer of the article with the newspaper management. The writer can very well have a valid point while the newspaper management sees things differently. In fact, the writer may very well make this point because the newspaper management sees differently and yet, the article is published.
The entire text-media industry has been transformed by Facebook and Google into this state. Anything that used to be a newspaper is now a DFP content-farm with all the shitty third-party js they can manage to cram in there. Sites with paid subscriptions seem just as bad on the inside.
The only other business model I’ve seen work is “be owned by a billionaire”.
Another approach for YouTube without YouTube: subscribe to YouTube channels and playlists by RSS. I set up an app for this. Just head over to https://www.epiyoutube.com. Or whenever you're on YouTube and viewing a channel, user, or playlist, just add 'epi' to the url, right in front of 'youtube,' and there's your RSS feed.
Oh, and another approach: watch YouTube videos on Bing Videos. I actually use that more than I use my RSS app. Just make sure you've got your adblocker on, and you're all set.
Can you explain this a little more? Can this be done on a personal phone? I was under the impression that the hosts file was essentially untouchable on an iPhone.
Google around - 'iphone mobile device management'. There's a service that's free for a couple devices[1]. Apple also makes a (terrible) app called Configurator. There are a bunch of others, but most of them are designed for (and priced for) corporate use.
You need to learn a little about what you're doing if you want to go this route, and there is some setup. But basically, you're taking on the role of a corporate IT department, pre-configuring and possibly locking down the phone.
I set up a profile in Configurator a few years ago and am a little afraid of touching it - that application makes iTunes look thoughtfully designed and stable.
For anyone who's interested, I also maintain a tracking protection list for Internet Explorer. It's based originally on the Ghostery and Disconnect lists, but I now update it independently. It's designed to be concise and speedy, yet also comprehensive. Note, however, that due to the limitations of tracking protection lists in IE, it can't block everything. You may need to supplement it with a small hosts file. Check it out here: https://github.com/amtopel/tpl
I appreciate any feedback.
