quick, someone give EU a call and explain the situation, EU will know what to do 🙂
Why doe we need chromium?
this happens when all rely on a private companies open source browser…… i stick for years on firefox.. and will stick with that .. and all of it's extensions
maybe not automatic updating anymore ? and making backups, so when extensions suddenly don't work in a newer version of firefox , i can revert back to an older version of firefox…
we need a new and b etter netscape in this internet explorer ( chromium ) war 🙂
All the browsers are blocking adblocker in YT here in the Netherlands only Brave doesn't
Pluralism is the foundation of democracy.
I'm pretty sure Ad Blockers will never die. Though, internet citizens need to decide if they want entertainment paid for with ads or subscriptions. Sites that rely on ads or subscriptions won't exist if everyone blocks the ads and doesn't subscribe.
Great video!
I learned much after viewing it.
Maybe you could show us some of your "van-based network" and your other internet security (without revealing too much for those who might try to defeat it).
Diagram it (van-based security) – overall van-based network …
brave is chrome based no?
after so many years using brave, i switched to firefox 2 months ago. i'm pretty satisfied tbh! Brave adding the vpn feature was too much for me already, they just keep adding bloat and bloat. I hate changing browsers so…firefox it is for the next years to come
Thanks for spelling out Manifest v3 for all of us. It's crazy Google can set an arbitrary limit on how many filter rules can be set. Can this be overridden if compiling the code yourself?
This just makes another case for Invidious and Freetube if you need Youtube content or up and coming Odysee and Rumble as alt-tech platforms.
Also Tom the FBI recommended Ad Blockers for safety reasons.
10:52 What about webkit-based browsers?
please show us your tattoos.
What about Vanadium browser that is used as the default browser on GrapheneOS?
Youtube would eventually disappear from the public internet and morphs to become an app. Sort of like YT now for Android or IOS. Except you need to install it on your computers. Then, that's the end of ad-blockers. It's coming. Ad-blockers are are existential threat to the business that's not even profitable. At the same time, we will be entering a multi-polar world of video streaming services, but none of them would be so great like Youtube during its 'free' years. That's because the search part of Google was subsidizing the YT part of google.
I think BigAD companies are sloppy (or percentage of people using ad-blockers is so minuscule). That is the only reason why PiHOLE might work. It would be enough to make ads (seemingly) originating from original website and any DNS blocking would not work.
I wish I could block just trackers but keep the non-tracking ads (if those even exist nowadays). It's quite all-or-nothing now, but I would like to support the websites and creators that monetize with ads.
Why can't projects that maintain their own repos, like Ungoogled Chromium or Thorium, remove the limit just as Firefox do? Or set it to some unreachable number like 1 trillion. This limit is probably just a number in a config file.
End of adblockers? Not on Firefox!
I've used Brave for a while now along with the built in blocker it seems to work fine in most cases. I have a really big problem with Firefox it use to be that was all I would use till they made some woke pandering statements and pretty much said they didn't care what their customers thought about it. We should wait and see what Brave is going to do or if they are going to keep it a secret which might be what they are doing you don't want the enemy to know what your course of action will be.
Any reason to run PiHole vs say Pfsense to do the DNS filtering? Or is that just a pick your tools argument (I.E. DeWalt vs Milwaukee)?
You need to enable aggressive mode in Brave Browser to block first party ads.
Google should be sued
Four truly good reasons…..
