You are correct that a browser without an ad blocker is out of the question. Therefore, the browser vendor should be responsible for filtering out this traffic. I am picking browsers with built-in ad and tracker blocking. I switch between Vivaldi (I trust the company 👍👍), Orion (I use their search engine 👍), and DuckDuckGo Browser.
Anyhow, my advice is that browser should have the ad blocker deeply embedded into it.

Very interesting. DeepSeek, or even Qwen, is probably never even going to be an option for large Western enterprises (like my employer) as long as the US continues to consider China a rival/enemy.

The enthusiasm surrounding DeepSeek stemmed from its cost-effectiveness. Even when it comes to inference, it offers a significant reduction in expenses while still delivering comparable quality output.

They did so in India, too. Any account that had ever been associated with an Indian IMEI was locked. They did so because TikTok wanted to show the Indian government they were honouring the law. They hoped to return to India soon. Of course, that was years ago, and now no one believes this Indian government would let it return.
