Zero VGS posted:I've never had an issue except for occasionally when Firefox won't know to autofill something. But it is quick to get into the list of stored passwords in those occasions. My friend kept telling me to use LastPass up until they were hacked. So the basic problem is, in firefox every saved password is keyed to a website address and you can't change the address. So when your bank goes through a merger or the power company changes from billing.powercompany.com to account.powercompany.com, you can't easily update the saved password. Multiple urls using the same identity is also impossible. Secondly, firefox saved passwords are not locally secure* unless you use a master password, but that feature in firefox is pretty annoying because it has no timeout / grace period. Log in to 3 things in a row, type your password 3 times. *ie, if someone can read your hard drive, they can read your passwords And yeah, don't use lastpass.

It can also block youtube shorts altogether. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-shorts-block/ It does exist for chrome too.

BV posted:I don't understand why you would bother using an ad blocker instead of invidious I ran my own invidious instance for a while (only me using it) and it was a hassle to keep up with since every few days google would jank it and I’d have to update the back end. Ytsdl-sub with Jellyfin (works with Plex etc. as well) is my favorite solution so far. Just works. Quality is excellent. SponsorBlock baked in. Of course no ads. Google isn’t tracking me. There’s no “discovery” but I don’t care. It’s nice having copies of videos to do with as I please. I can watch on a flight or something without dealing with google pita.

Yeah, I've tried a private Invidious instance too but I never used it as I want my subscriptions, plus the recommendations on YouTube have actually been very mildly useful recently for what feels like the first time in years.

Zero VGS posted:Just switch to Firefox; it's not like you're being asked to install Linux, it's 99% the same as Chrome but not run by shitheads. On launch it imports your bookmarks/passwords and can sync them to a free account like Google does. The Windows and Android versions are both OK and are able the handle me having 999+ open tabs like God intended. Honestly, installing Linux is a good idea. My YouTube tabs are eating way less memory than they did in Windows.

ublock origin wasn't working for me on Firefox; I eventually worked out that it was conflicting with Ghostery and switched Ghostery off for Youtube. Now I'm back to my blissful ad-free Youtube browsing experience.

dont use Ghostery , they had their own moment of selling out and allowing some "verified" ads or trackers through.

Is there a decent YouTube adblocking solution on iOS? I rarely use YouTube on mobile, but just now I went to check something on there and was served a 60-second ad on a 2 minute video, and that’s really the last straw for me.

You won't get anything to work in the app, maybe the EU-mandated iOS sideloading law will open this up a bit.

They changed something last night to make the message appear when I'm running uBlock and AdNauesum at the same time. Turning off AdNauseum and leaving uBlock enabled fixes it, and turning AdNauseum back on breaks it.

Here's the list: 1. get Firefox 2. install ublock origin 3. if youtube gives you poo poo about adblock, do this: Ublock settings -> Filter lists -> click the 🕘 clock next to uBlock filters – Quick fixes -> Update Now

My girlfriend and I use the TV app for things like RLM videos so we can both watch the same feed at the same tine without needing to synch up our computers, and we have noticed the interface has changed in the last week, with ads popping up more frequently and taking much longer before we are allowed to hit "skip." They're getting really goddamn egregious with their ads and I don't intend to use the app going forward. Christ, they've gotten so loving brazen with this. I wish we had more realistic options for large scale internet media.

What OS does your TV use? Edit: long story short, If it's android based you can install smart tube beta. If it isn't, the fire tv stick 4k is currently 50% off at 24.99. https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube scroll down for install instructions. I see no reason why you shouldn't use the easiest option. I double checked before I posted this to make sure it was still blocking ads and it is. as a bonus it also has sponsor block. How long will it work? Beats me.

Yeah, using YouTube on something like Roku is completely unwatchable now. It's almost like they want the service to die. I've noticed a lot of the other streaming services are all trying to move to "ad supported" offerings and raising the no-ads to higher and higher prices hoping people will watch with ads. I'd rather watch paint dry than a single ad, so... FreeTube app on PC still works good, tho. Philthy fucked around with this message at 15:51 on Dec 4, 2023 |

My roommates have been watching TV in living lately and everytime I catch a glimpse it's on ads. Last night saw one that was an ad, but around it was a graphical wrapper of another ad, with a another section that was delivering trivia as an advertisement for a third thing.

Within the last few days, they changed the "timer" that ticks down when you're watching an ad. It no longer tells you how long the ad is--it just says "90+" and you have to guess the length based on the clock, like I kind of remember Hulu being like. Cool! Joke's on them. I was gonna watch that 3 minute ad for the new Fallout show regardless.
