This addon does a great job of showing how hard it is to get away from Google, Amazon, Facebook, and the other tech leviathans who've permeated almost every corner of the Internet.

Actually, this addon shows you that it’s almost impossible to use the Internet without the big tech leviathans.

The web and world would be far safer if every webpage could ONLY pull data from its own server. i.e. One pipe for every and all content of a web page.

Its really simple, but the big tech doesn’t want it.

I have not used this addon, but based on the pic shown, I would say that NoScript would be a more accurate way of viewing the web.

Rather than locking entire pages, just do not load anything from google, MS, etc.

That's what I do.

It's not that hard. It just takes determination and a strong will..

Yep!
It is almost impossible to do anything on a computer now without involving Google or Microsoft.
They know who you are and where you are.
All they need is a reason to contact the FBI.
