And in the present I’ve fallen back to using flash drives, because every cloud file hosting service is unreliable or a privacy nightmare. History is like a usb stick you keep rotating until it fits.

At least part of it survives. Better some than none.

It continues marching on as The Eye.

Its working for me now, I tested it this morning. Even tried swithching the user agent back to Firefox and yep - Youtube gets magically some buffering problems with it.

Close youtube tab, switch user agent back to chrome, clear cache and restart the browser: no buffering problems. What a bunch of assholes.

I’ve reported this earlier to EU competition ombudsman, like a about a year ago, and they confirmed then that they were getting reports about the issue, Google of course denying the practice. Hopefully they are working on some punishment for Google in the background.

I have never encounteted a PWA that works better than a website OR an app - this from users actual usability viewpoint. They are a cancer, that sits right in between the worst of both worlds.

Actually, does anyone with the knowhow know if the rules and filters made for uBlock work any differently in Chrome, Firefox or Safari? Arent they just html and javascript?

I’m a humanist, and the last time I played with html was in the 90’s, so fuck if I know about anything thats happening beyond the ui.

There are also uBlock Origin custom filters/rules that block all shorts, at least for Firefox/Firefox mobile and its forks AFAIK.

Little over four years smokeless for me too, after 20 years of smoking. High five for the quitter crew!

Sadly I still get cravings almost weekly.

I dont mean to be snide, but the abbreviation for advertisement is ‘ad’, not add.

Also, using uBlock Origin on Firefox (or its various forks) gets you rid of ads pretty much universally. It’s also a security feature in the post-2000’s internet; lots of malware use ads as an attack vector.

You should not need to suffer through ads - no one should.

Doesnt seem to work for many people (Cloudflare has stopped supporting it?), judging by reading reviews on Mozilla extension store.
