      Anyone one knows Twitter ads server address? Putting Twitter in a container isn't enough.

        Found this on Github but it seems more for Facebook than for Twitter: https://gist.github.com/djaiss/85a0ada83e6bca68e41e

          I don't see ads on Twitter, just occasional promoted tweets. Is that what you mean?

            @provels Yes, they're ads, hence promoted. My friend has Google nested WIFI and the Twitter promoted ads got worst; however, once I set up his pfSense, it tone down a litter. Would love to tone it down more though.

              I usually only see one a day and just block them. That's about it. Certainly not automatic.

                @provels It depends on whether one leaves the tab open as I do and how often one post to the site. If one goes to more when logged into account Settings and privacy > Ads preference > Interest, you could see thousands of interest Twitter Algorithm selected base on one's interaction with each tweet. I even selected that I don't want to see ads. So, there is a browser container add on from Github to prevent cookie snooping.
