Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?
post
I'm not loyal to a browser, I'm loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I'd switch overnight
Which is exactly the way it should be. And it's a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.
Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides
Libretube is also a fine option. Available on F-droid
Newpipe Sponsorblock is a think.
From me it would need more. Chrome has more (mostly privacy related) disadvantages compared to Firefox than that
You don't care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google's new invasive advertising system?
Then their pages are not worth viewing.
That does not always work like that. Sometimes you are obliged to use a website that is resistant to user privacy
I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.
So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.
It's even more horrifying when you realize that's a lower bound. It doesn't even include dynamically loaded ads from the same domains, and it doesn't include ads that can't be blocked because it would stop services from working.
Infuriating, isn't it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose
Was using Chrome as my main browser and FF as my second browser last week. Uninstalled Chrome, made Firefox my main browser and Waterfox as my second browser. Forget Chrome and forget Edge!
Meanwhile Mozilla: fires 200 workers to pay the CEO 2M :)
Ah well then I guess Google actually isn't destroying privacy after all
There's LibreWolf, Waterfox, Basilisk, Pale Moon and Pulse. You don't have to support Mozilla if you don't want to and at the same you don't have to submit to Chrome's supremacy.
Do you have source?
?? (translate pls)
First slide says something along the lines of "boo, i just use adblock" and the second one should make sense
WEI has a lot of issues and should not ever be implemented, but it's not going to stop you from using ad blockers, nor could it be made to do so.
The issues with it are that it makes it much easier to individually track users and it will make it nearly impossible for new browsers to gain traction.
