#adblock

Politics had totally changed, instead of having politicians, you only had puppets for the big tech companies: all those puppets did, was make sure that it's companies kept getting more financially powerful, and kept getting even more invasive, as if that were even possible

I mean they were a literally up your digestive track already, all the way to your spinkster.

Don't let me talk about flying; it takes you literally 72 hours to book a ticke; 8 hours a day you have to follow those dreadful procedures of which 90% is just ads, to finally get the seat booked with six screens pointed at you only bombarding you with advertisements.

Trains were even worse; Walls of screens, almost no place to sit, let alone sit comfortably.
In busses they left you alone, but what they did, is make the bus almost totally transparent and make sure that all the of the massive screens at the buildings were pointing at you, giving out all your personal information for everyone else to see, including your menstrual cycle, the size of your prostate, and everything else that's supposed to be medically sealed, just to show you walls and walls of advertisements regarding those medical status parameters.

And do not think that when you're finally at home sleeping, away from your dreadful job, and asleep that you sleep cycle was normal
Remember those devices that implanted in you at Birth? Those devices injected at advertisements in your dreams making your sleep horrific and tiring

I've just woken up from a horrific IT Nightmare.

Only commercial companies were providing services on the internet, Open Source did not exist, Linus Torvalds was never born, Netscape has never come into fruition.

Every website you went to you have to go through 12 pages of advertisements bombarding you with all the flashes all the sounds and even even HTML5 did not exist everything was Flash!

There are only two browsers available Google Chrome and Microsoft Internet Explorer. Browser extensions were non-existent; everybody went on the internet like a drone and endured the horrific bombardment of advertisements like carpet bombs falling on your mind, as if you were in Vietnam, getting bombarded by The Enemy Flying B-52 fortresses.

All the Services constantly changed their end-user license agreement, your mobile devices had eight cameras pointed at you and none to the outside world. Those devices also had seven microphones of which the worst was used for you to talk into with your people and Friends, the six others were used to listen to you environment and sent everything outside.

Tracking devices were planted in your body at Birth, you are constantly itching because of all those devices in your system, giving you skin irritation and making your complexion like that of sandpaper.

Even going outside in your garden was horrific, micro drones were constantly following you, listening and looking at everything you do, even if you don't have any mobile devices on you.

Stores were even worse, everything you bought had tracking and tracing, even The Food you ate had tracking, and traces were going to your digestive track all the way to the toilet.

And while you were sitting there you had to endure advertisements for every time you use the toilet.

There were 12 financially Rich families on the planet everyone else was economic slave.

All religions were converted to advertisement bombardment Systems and to subjugation of people to Ads

Okay, is it just me or is #YouTube officially broken for #AdBlock users? I’m using #UBlockOrigin

Also, I’m getting a sign-in required to “prove I’m not a bot”, but I figure that’s my VPN. I haven’t been able to watch a YT video all day.

We have DNS block lists (DNSBL) on our website sourced from multiple sites. Check them out and add them to your Pi-Hole blacklist!

I find myself tempted by subscribing #AdBlock Premium to filter out cookie walls and the like. Can anyone confirm that even the premium part if actually free software? (I'm willing to pay for it if it is, much less so if not.) I also welcome direct experience reports from people who tried it, especially if based in the EU.

Pi-hole takes over as your network's name server, and silently redirects all web requests to known ad-server addresses to a DNS sinkhole. Everything else is passed upstream to the public DNS server of your choice.

Je cherche à bloquer le "explore" de Mastodon parce que j’ai tendance à aller y voir des trucs que je n’ai pas envie de voir.

Vous avez une idée de règle #ublock pour bloquer juste cette partie de mastodon ? (sur mon instance).

@linux_pl Ktoś z was bawił się hBlockiem*? Jak to się sprawdza w porównaniu z uBlockiem (poza tym, że działa system-wide, a nie tylko w jednej przeglądarce)?

* „hBlock is a POSIX-compliant shell script that gets a list of domains that serve ads, tracking scripts and malware from multiple sources and creates a hosts file, among other formats, that prevents your system from connecting to them.”

Why Do You Prefer LibreWolf Over #Brave?

The community often debates privacy-focused browsers. LibreWolf removes telemetry and trackers, while Brave offers built-in ad blocking and crypto features. Some say LibreWolf is more transparent and respects privacy better. Others prefer Brave for convenience. What’s your take? Why do you choose LibreWolf over Brave?

On Linux I've tried/used the following browsers to replace Firefox:

- Zen (Firefox)
- Floorp (Firefox)
- Librewolf (Firefox)
- Vivaldi (chromium)

For the last several months I've been using Floorp and am happy with it. I use Librewolf for accessing Meta.

On Android I've used Firefox for day to day and Waterfox for accessing Meta.

IANAL: my concern is how much of the new Mozilla TOS is directly applicable to Firefox forks.

The new TOS reads like Mozilla is legally allowed to 'tee' anything you upload to their own information horde, including anything binary.

Also, something I've noticed is that sometimes when Mozilla upstream makes TOS/marketing/affiliate changes via about:config changes those changes get pushed downstream and if the downstream team misses it in the rush to get the new version out the door you may end up with these settings re-enabled.

I tried Vivaldi yesterday. Ad blocking isn't sufficient to use it as a daily driver browser. Unusable for me.

Eyes to the future for open source browser engines.

Mozilla Firefox is officially dead.

My back is officially turned.

What options remain?

For now I'm probably going to be using Gnome Web (i.e. Epiphany) for most straightforward web browsing. It works more than well enough for the stuff I do. Mobile version for Android? Does it exist? iOS?

I'll use Vivaldi for lame "modern" sites that a "simple" browser like Epiphany can't render properly. Mobile?

We'll see how far that goes. This may be less and less of an issue. The big player sites like Google, Meta, etc. are not somewhere I tend to visit.

Banking sites are a mixed bag of necessity.

I'm about to let my Amazon Prime account lapse on its yearly renewal since I won't use them any more.

At least Vivaldi seems to be a decent organization. Technology is based on Chromium though - and this is why I haven't started using it.

I will need to investigate Vivaldi's built-in adblocking since manifest v2 isn't a thing under Chromium.

I used to care about keeping the Mozilla rendering engine alive and relevant but now not so much.

The Firefox forks I've tried have been a mixed bag of whether their new versions follow re-enabling the privacy invasive things that Mozilla upstream does when it sends out a new version.

Time to leave them behind as well I guess.

A lot will depend on how much I miss ublock origin.

If there is a mass exodus from all the Firefox based forks then ublock may cease to exist.

There's a rant in there about pi-holing all browsers but I don't have it in me ATM.

uBlock Origin is dead on Chrome, along with any other Manifest v2 extensions (it still runs fine on Firefox). Here are four alternative adblockers that have already been upgraded to the new Manifest v3 standard.

@FirewallDragons For the first few minutes of you talking about the Bitly story, I was thinking to myself, "I could've sworn that it already does that." Eventually I realized that no, that's Adfly I was thinking of. The story is that Bitly has degraded into Adfly.

If the actual implementation turns out to be accurate to what you read out on the show, it will be trivially easy for a browser extension to automatically and instantly skip you straight to the destination URL. The only question is whether or not uBlock Origin, specifically, will have (or add) the ability to do it.

(1/2) I gotta say, the echo dot makes for a good wired/wireless speaker when you cripple their ability to contact Amazon domains.

I know they have a hardcoded DNS but I could just force it to only use PiHole with a firewall rule in opnsense. It's not that complicated.

I mean I could get a more decent speaker with no spyware, but if you've got one lying around and...
