if you get someone else to switch too then that counts too

just have couple of standardised avatars. It would be madness if everyone could choose whatever.

what kind of things could you power with that amount?

not just stop, rip every half decent video from there and save it somewhere else. Losing everything in youtube is library of alexandria level loss.

it can block any element from the website, even things that are not ads. If you for some reason wanted to remove button “mark all as read” or from this website you could do it. Just remember to add notes to the blocklist so you know what is blocking what if you need to unblock something later. For example, i really dislike shorts on youtube so i just removed the entire shelf and side button. I guess you could do same with some other tool, but this is just more clean way to do it and doenst require extra extensions.

It also seems to be much more serious about blocking ads than other blockers and the dev seems to actively work towards fixing any anti-adblock stuff websites add.

Noscript is more like whitelist for scripts and first line of defence for me.

If anything ever happens to ublock i’ll definitely switch to that one as retaliation. Unfortunately they dont work together and ublock has better features for blocking stuff I dont want to see.

I also use ublock origin on top of it, that way its a little safer to test which sites to allow. Anything blocked on ublock origin is definitely something you dont need to run the website and if it is then its likely not worth using that website anyway.

One would have had to ask the ai about it before all this to know where it might be getting its information from

what if they all come up with that because it has been publicised and they just refer to that because they have nothing else to base the questions about that specific topic on?

I just glanced at it and wouldnt know how something like that is even supposed to be, so I dont really know how unhinged the tariff rate thing is. It wouldnt surprise me if it was based only to whatever happened to be going through the madmans mind at the time.

google has way too much power. its threat to everything

if enough people start doing it might be effective

I would feel like wading through sewer bare footed if I had all javascript enabled by default

i can feel it too when I use it. that is why i use it only for trivial things if at all.

i wonder if reddit will eventually ragequit and restrict access to all content in there before trying to sell it off

people who react like that are giving them power

anyone believing brave is good for privacy is quite naive

when shit really hits the fan europe will lose access to some if not all us based services.

this looks like wonderful program to use, my only worry is that how well openstreetmap is safeguarded against any corporation wanting to buy it out? This kind of community effort could easily make it vastly superior to anything corporations even could create so obviously they will try to acquire it at some point. Is it safe from that?

But provided that it is safe, this is really nice. I like going to new places but not having any real reason for it makes it feel a bit trivial. With this there is real tangible benefit for doing it.

if the testing sites are indeed doing it then they are likely more efficient about it, trying to make money from selling the data they gather. Worst thing about them is they are completely unnecessary and pointless even if they were trying to help users with blockers. There is no point in testing your adblocker, just go to the sites you usually go and if you see ads then it doesnt work properly.

if those sites are gathering information about adblockers to find ways to make them not work, they are harmful.
