    There was a website on here not too long ago that showed various phones and their level of smartness one could buy. Anyone got a link for that?

      Yeah… My company blocks the ability to install extensions so no ad blocking. I can’t even use my DNS adblocker when working from home since the computer can only be online using the company VPN

    I am a bit confused. Which institutional EU website features auctioned ads to begin with?
