Fair point, I could have made the effort to make that clear, but it is far far far less _un_clean if you care at all about such things.

Two clicks to opt-out of everything¹ compared to tens, some of which include needing to visit the parter separately to opt-out there, and even then it is not complete because some simply marked “this partner does not provide an opt-out”. ExtremeTech: welcome to my DNS blacklist.

[¹] assuming you trust it to actually opt you out properly, of course
