This is an interesting URL list for #ublockorigin to improve your browsing experience

Paying bills at the end of the month has become so painful. Aside from the actual financial details, I still have to block ads from apartment complex, phone company, etc. after uBlock Origin does its thing. Some of these are really shameful, like offering to split rent payments to every two weeks if you take out a pay-day loan at crazy interest rates every month. Then I'm also blocking "AI answers" when I shouldn't have to search so hard to find "Pay Bill" in the first place. No, I'm too close to the edge to turn on autopay, just charge me $10 more a month to subject me to more ads, thanks. Then when I do pay it's "Looks like something went wrong! Please try again." and an email confirming payment in my inbox.

As always, #AdBlocking is #infosec:

If you're still using #GoogleChrome or #MicrosoftEdge then switch to #Firefox and install the #uBlockOrigin extension. It works on desktop and on Android. That alone will give you a safer, more enjoyable browsing experience.

This post explains why and how Kaushik Gopal uses Firefox and provides some handy tips.

He recommends enabling the AdGuard filters in the uBlock Origin settings but the extension flags all of them as out of date. Any issues with these filters?

Update: I need to refresh and apply the filter list. Thanks @laurentb

Pour l'instant, je ne vois pas trop les effets sur mon PC perso sous #LinuxMint avec #Freetube ou #Firefox + #ublockorigin. Par contre, sur le PC de boulot sous #Windows11 avec #Firefox + #ublockorigin, j'ai très souvent des soucis de chargement de vidéo.

La guerre contre les #adblockers, ça rapporte : les revenus publicitaires de #YouTube explosent

Outcome: almost everyone here on Mastodon uses an #adblocker .

Do I have followers that do not use an #adblocker? If so, how do you survive on the current internet and why not use an adblocker?

EDIT: my uBlock Origin was way outdated, updating fixed it, thanks @heldenstad (have now set add-ons to auto-update too)

Just in the last couple of days, I've noticed #ublockorigin has become very aggressive, making even the rendering of Wikipedia pages horrible.

Anyone else get this? I imagine it has something to do with one of the blocklists, but don't know how to figure out which without switching each on off :/

#uBlockOrigin is forever disabled in #Chrome. Why it happened and what to use instead

https://adguard.com/en/blog/ublock-origin-disabled-chrome.html

@PabloMartini That's why one needs to use #UblockOrigin and espechally #NoScript to block #Google's Servers & Services!

• Same goes for #NSAbook, #ClownFlare and others...

Soderle, es ist so weit.

#Google #Chrome hat #uBlockOrigin endgültig gekillt.

Abgesehen davon, dass dieses Vorgehen den Browser bei mir ebenfalls killt, was ist jetzt die bevorzugte Lösung?

Außer FireFuchs noch ein anderer Browser?

Oder diesen DNS-Blocker auf #Raspberry? Wie hieß der nochmal?

Ja, der Grund ist, dass ein Konzern mit einen Zig-Milliarden-Gewinn seinen Hals nicht voll genug bekommt.

Als ob diese hyperbeschissenen KI-Audiotracks nicht nervig genug seien.

Steckt den guten Creators das Geld möglichst direkt zu, damit die sich schneller von YouTube lösen können.

Go #FreeTube, #ytdlp, #NewPipe, #LibreTube und vor allem #PeerTube!
