What happens when every time your browser sends data to a tracker it makes a beep sound?

Watching the counter on uBlock Origin skyrocket on any google or meta page is the same feeling.

My uBlock Origin is showing 73 blocks on THIS PAGE here on lemmy after allowing the scripts to play the video. Without the video, only 1.

The video is a link from a mastodon instance (masto.host). So they use trackers here?

Mine sits at 3.5 million and this isn't even that old of a setup.

I built this computer just under 3 months ago and I'm at 5.26M.

Where are you all browsing? My PC is about 1 year old and in all it's lifetimeshas seen 700k blocks.
Now mind you I am browsing a fair bit mobile and watch YT on my TV but even with mobile firefox + ublock combined it's 993k in total.
