This way, you can get adblocking for a lot of stuff on Android, including Chrome. It really hogs battery though (on the level of having to charge my phone in the early evening vs. having battery left when going to bed). You would need to setup a VPN connection to your home network. Then your family would use a VPN client on their mobile devices to dial back home.

Could set up Wireguard on your router then your phone would act as if it was on the network anyways and pihole should still act as your filter.

NextDNS works really well for me since I've added some of the community blocklists.

Mozilla buying pocket was very much one of those "acting like a corp" moves. To disable pocket entirely, go to about :config and set extensions.pocket.enabled to false.

Dr. Video Games 0031 posted:vivaldi is also going to prevent users from installing ublock you dingus No, Vivaldi has stated they're going to keep Manifest V2 or something similar available, implementing it themselves. It remains to be seen how successful they'll be with it, but they're not giving into V3 like Edge is.

Harminoff posted:How about arc by the browser company? I have been using it for months now on macOS and think it's great, still chromium based to be sure though. They're still claiming we'll see a windows release this winter. It doesn't really have a strong mobile offering if that's a problem as well, they call it a companion app rather than an outright browser, and there's no functional iPad release at all if that's of interest.

BUUNNI posted:Arc is awesome but I’m bummed that all my adblockers won’t work since Google is banning them. That's why you get something like a Pihole or NextDNS so you can have network-wide ad blocking. It doesn't have all of the capabilities that ublock has with like disabling web page scripts and elements but I'm not sure any app will once v3 comes out. In which case you just switch to Firefox.

HTTP Live Streaming (the thing implemented by Apple, and which Twitch is using) does EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY and I'm sure Alphabet wants to do something similar with HTTP DASH (which is their equivalent of HLS, used for YouTube).

You ever notice how many text to speech narrated police interrogation videos/channels there are? They all have like 5 million subscribers and just narrate over publicly available police footage from states like Florida. Seems like it would be super easy to have an AI write and narrate the same story three different ways, and make three different channels that all have millions of subs.

the jcs videos just presume to know way too much about the subjects, which also makes for some weird smugly superior videos thinking they're outsmarting some random 18yo kind of like when body language analysis is used to make misogynistic fedora videos on about celebrities

It took a while to wash those 'audit the audit' type videos out of my algo where some libertarian reviews interactions between members of the public and the police and starts grading them. Some super loving weird people out there.

I've been using Vivaldi + uBO for a few years now, and about a month ago I noticed that videos were automatically pausing themselves instead of preloading. Could be YouTube, could be one of the dozen other extensions I have installed. Who knows.

Tornhelm posted:If you still have the issue, try adding the below line to your ublock filters. My word of warning about this: if you're adding your own filters like that, you need to remember that you've done that and you may need to remove it again later. Youtube is definitely still loving with adblockers, and a future rev of their bullshit might not work with or intentionally break for people who added that line. So personally I'm just gonna keep using ublock's filters. If ublock isn't perfect and has a delay, I'll deal with it until ublock updates. (OTOH I mostly watch medium or long-format stuff on youtube mostly, so a 5 second delay doesn't super bother me. For someone who is listening to music playlists I can see it being very annoying.)
