Project 0 2/19

My new media obsession has to do with a new adblocker I installed called ghostery. I downloaded it after we talked about it in class. I’ve never used an adblocker before, so I didn’t know what to expect. Now, whenever I go onto websites, new ones or ones I’ve used before, my eyes are automatically drawn to the little notification number next to the ghost icon. This number tells you how many trackers and ads the app is blocking from any given website. Websites I’d been on plenty of times before have trackers that have been storing my information. It’s become kind of a bad habit, constantly checking how much I’m being monitored. But I guess this should come as no surprise.
