Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?
Removed by mod
Lucky you, in my country the only ads that YouTube plays are Authoritarian Government propaganda pieces.
nextdns is also pretty good.
This is what I use, made it hard for me to move to Firefox because I already don’t get ads in chrome and it is better supported, which is honestly a personal failing on my end
dns blockers are not a suitable replacement for Dom/css based blockers
Fair, but it’s good enough
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
Have you heard about our god and savior newpipe ?
Newpipe Sponsorblock is a think.
Libretube is also a fine option. Available on F-droid
Libretube is definitely the better option if you don’t use a VPN but still want to hide your IP from Google, since it uses Piped to proxy everything
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?
I’m currently using Samsung Internet with content blockers. Firefox on my Android phone has micro stutters that are driving me crazy. The only browser that doesn’t have that weird Android scrolling micro stutters are Samsung Internet, weirdly. So I’ve been using it for years even on non Samsung phones.
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.
Infuriating, isn’t it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose
I still prefer firefox for other reasons
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 :)
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.
I love librewolf
Do you have source?
Happened during COVID haven’t kept up with Mozilla news since.
?? (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.
Not directly, but indirectly it can. By simply just blocking browsers that allow meaningful ad blocking. And not just ad blocking, but it can be applied to any kinds of user-side modifications.
why am i edge user now i used both of those before
I was on the edge too, but decided to go with brave
firefox for linux machine edge for windows & custom browser for android phone. brave idk
You do realise ublock origin exists for Chrome as well right?
Yeah but google chrome nerfs it severely.
Not to mention the fact that FF is the only mobile browser to support add-ons
In what way?
Zero mentions of Chrome in that article
You’re right. Well I’m using firefox and haven’t received these warnings so I assumed it was a chrome thing. I could be wrong though.
Set up adguard home as your DNS server, no client side adblock needed anymore
uBlock Origin can do more than that though, it’s definitely nice to have depending on your wants and needs.
Does it load google websites (youtube, gmail, drive, etc.) unnoticeably slower than brave? (More than 1s is noticeable for me) That’s the only thing keeping me to switch from brave to firefox
*Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? It’s just a question. Realistically, many depend on google services but still want privacy. Can’t we ask for it??
