Quality: 8/10 Relevance: 9/10

Summary

This article reviews an open-source tool that automates data-broker opt-outs for privacy. It explains a macOS-based workflow that uses Node.js and Playwright to search for listings, fill opt-out forms, and submit them, including CAPTCHA handling via CapSolver. It also covers state tracking to avoid re-submission and iMessage notifications, plus setup, broker coverage, and how to extend with more brokers.
