Gotta try Ctrl P
Is the one in the bottom left actually called “No Need YT Ads”? Cause I can’t find that one
It must be Invidious alternative frontend for youtube
the return dislike plugin is just stupid. it’s a community database now, so rather than being based on the actual number of dislikes on youtube it’s based on the dislikes of the people who have the plugin.
it used to be that it actually got the real numbers but youtube removed that endpoint so now it’s just a misanthropic echo chamber.
It’s better than nothing. Also I’d probably weigh the opinion of people who have the extension higher than of those who don’t.
Is it? personally, when i think of “people who want to see the dislike bar” my mind equates that to “people who want to dislike”, and that’s not a group of people i want to interact with.
To me it wrings more of "people who want to know before they waste 20 minutes whether this video is clickbait, just actually false, rightwing conspiracy theories, or has some massive editing flaw that makes the video pointless.
For that, I prefer DeArrow. Gets you community sourced, informative titles for videos (and removes clickbait thumbnails as well)
This is why I use it, also the more people who use it the more accurate it is
It’s honestly relatively representative afaik
Even though it, SponsorBlock etc. could just be neglected by using piped or just federated alternatives.
how can we even know that though? there’s no stats anymore.
also, if peertube et al got bigger, surely sponsorblock would be useful there as well? if creators would use those services because people were on them, sponsors would contact those creators because they got the views.
It subjectively feels right, and instances where creators leaked the numbers the RTYTD stats matched pretty closely.
Until peertube grows to that size, it’s still a long time. Then it would be useful.
I just installed consentomatic right now and I didn’t know it existed thank you
Need to add a pihole to that stack
I love my pie hole and I love the functionality of being able to access a VPN and use on my home network stuff on the go it’s pretty good
Consent-o-matic instead of cookies and adnausem instead of ublock origin.
Consent-o-matic will actively opt out of popups.
Adnausem is built on top of ublock origin and will silently “click” on the ads behind the scenes to mess up your advertising profile and cost the advertisers money.
Oooo. Now that’s something to try.
Librewolf instead of firefox
Pretty soon, Firefox will need to be replaced with Waterfox and LibreWolf, unfortunately.
I use Waterfox on my gaming computer and I love it.
Why?
People at the top of Mozilla Org making crappy decisions.
What’s wrong with privacy badger?
Not OP, but what puts me off is that it calls itself badger, but really it’s just a software that has nothing in common with those glorious animals. Did you know that badgers’ keen sense of smell is about 800 times sharper than our own?
!subscribe to badger facts
Did you know that badgers keep their homes in tip-top shape by creating a latrine pit as a bathroom? They won’t defecate in their homes, instead making a pit out of dried grass and leaves just outside their burrow.
Privacy Badger has historically allowed tracking until it successfully identifies a domain as a likely tracker. Like the air bags going off after you’ve already wrapped your car around a telephone pole. But it’s now been changed and is now closer to a list-based tracker blocker (enumerate badness):
They’ve since corrected one of the core issues with PB by doing so, but it still it is very weak. To see why, please glance through The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security.
uBlock Origin in advanced mode, with default-deny rules (only allow assets by exception) is going to be much stronger at blocking crap.
Personally, I use uMatrix with pretty much all asset classes blocked by default. I never see popups. I never see banners begging “please allow our cookies, pleeeeaaase!”.
I think UBO makes it redundant.
The layered security model has redundancy built in as a feature.
Well, it can be replaced with uBlock Origin and some people dont recomend it anymore

Replace Firefox with brave and you’re set
Being a chromium based browser, they’re fixing to loose access to the same features that’s killing Ublock. So in the near future, the Brave CEO is still going to be a cunt, but your ad-blocking is going to be forever inferior.
Are you talking about the browser that added its own referral codes in cryptocurrency sites?
(Yeah, maybe I’m a bit vindictive…)
Prepare for downvotes.
People can hate, but the shield is more convenient than uBlock. I know because I had uBlock origin and noscript back I’m the day. Too bad I tend to separate the app from its creator because it’s beneficial for me.
the shield is more convenient than uBlock
Agreed.
Just installed Consent-o-matic and Unpaywalled. Thanks!
No love for Ghostery?
Isn’t Ghostery made by an ads company?
No, use uBlock Origin.
