If you use uBO then Ghostery is redundant. It can also cause some of uBO's filters to not work correctly.
Also uBO can do what you did with stylebot. (If you use the full uBO extension, and not the limited Lite version for Chromium browsers):

The sci-fi show Farscape.
I'd also be interested in a list of companies that advertise on X.
Probably most films by Darren Aronofsky. Pi and The Fountain are some of the worst movies I've seen. Feels like someone's artsy shroom trip. I dislike most "artsy" movies without a coherent story.
Also a lot of horror classics bores me to death. For example The Omen, Poltergeist, The Exorcist.

There was just an update to Quick fixes. Please test if it works for you.
Just a reminder: Please always treat disabling lists as a last resort/temporary solution type of thing. Without that list, you won't be receiving important filter updates and will likely encounter ads after a while. So don't keep it disabled forever - verify that it's still necessary (daily?).
On Ubuntu I use the tar.bz2 version to not have to deal with snaps or extra repositories. Also on Debian Stable to get the latest version.
Make sure jnn-pa.googleapis.com isn't blocked anywhere in your network. It may perhaps be blocked in a filter list you have activated in uBO, DNS, VPN, Firewall, anti-virus, Firefox enhanced tracking protection, etc.
&& flatpak update
You can also include && flatpak uninstall --unused in your alias to clean up more space.
Appending (intext:“modlog” & “instances” & “docs” & “code” & “join lemmy”) to your search query will search most instances. Works with Google, Startpage, SearXNG afaik.
celluloid, pix, hexchat, hypnotix, rhythmbox, LibreOffice
Those applications uninstalled just fine without any dependency issues last time I tried Mint.
If you're unsure, make a snapshot of your current VM state (if your VM software supports it). Then just uninstall the junk you don't need until Mint breaks. Restore snapshot, test some more, and so on. Those on real hardware should use Timeshift to create snapshots.
Tip: Run sudo apt autoremove package in the terminal so you can see which dependencies that are removed.
You shouldn't have to install any flatpak dependency manually. Flatpak should handle it for you automatically when you install your programs. (In most cases.)
EasyPrivacy should block Meta and Yandex pixels by default. If you have the knowledge you can put uBO in "hard mode" which will block all 3p connections. It requires you to know which CDNs to allow or websites will be broken.
