Why do you need a personalised shopping experience? If I'm looking for shoes, I select my shoe size and maybe narrow it down to a style. I don't need the website to track me across the entire internet and fill that in for me.

I use it in work because we're not allowed to install anything else. Its fine but I wouldn't want to use it for personal browsing.

verbal enema posted:I've seen one (1) ad in my life that ever caught my attention and it was for some badass collapsible steel staff thing The only time an "advert" worked on me was the Pica Pencil that Laura Kampf and Adam Savage use, but that's because its actually a good pencil and I was in the market for a decent mechanical pencil at the time.

MehrTentakelnBitte posted:This has now become a recurring thing whenever I check YT (like 12 hours apart, at breakfast & before bed usually). Updating filters fixes it every time, but if it's just the one tab incognito is fine. The filter list that uBlock uses for the new YouTube fixes is called "Quick Fixes", and gets updated every 12 hours, you probably just happen get updates just before they're pushed to you normally. shirunei posted:half of the goons still posting here have a boomer's familiarity with tech tho Fairly certain there's GUIs for it, its not exactly hard to use though.

Duck and Cover posted:I think people who use command line stuff regularly needs to understand that they are weirdo freaks who don't realize how poo poo command line stuff is. Well they don't need to understand that they just should shut the gently caress up and not suggest command line solutions to the majority of people when other options exist. Yep. If you're too stupid to type "yt-dlp" and past in the link of the video you want downloaded, you don't deserve to download the thing. gently caress, I'm fairly certain that if you drag the link of a video onto the yt-dlp exe it'll just download the thing without any typing.

Just Another Lurker posted:I'm running Linux Mint with their version of Firefox + uBlock origin and am always logged in, not had any ads yet at all. Literally the same as you, Mint with Firefox and uBO in the UK and I don't get ads, but I have been getting the no adblocking popup now and then. The last time I saw it it was on strike 3 of 3, so I guess the next time it shows might be interesting. I think if you don't use YouTube much and you're lucky with the filter updates you'll never see it as the filters update every 12 hours.

uBO updates them every 12 hours, you only need to update manually if YouTube has updated their blocking in the time between your filters updating.

Elukka posted:Fun fact you can take the video id from the url of a short and paste it in the place of a video id in a normal video's url and then you get it in regular video format. To add to this, I use the Redirector plugin to do that for me automatically. https://einaregilsson.com/redirector/

Apparently YouTube adds a 5 second delay to the loading time if you're running Firefox. Because that's a perfectly normal, none evil thing to do. https://www.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/17ywbjj/comment/k9w3ei4/

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.

The reason that videos play in lower quality on PC is because you're using a browser to access the content. As the content is, likely, "protected" with Widevine you're limited to level 3 protection which only allows lower resolutions. If you have hardware you can get level 2 or level 1 access which then allows you to watch the higher resolution content.

I'm forced to use Edge in work and it now does that on the main window too. It shouldn't matter but it annoyed the hell out of me until I found out how to turn it off.

Mebh posted:Finally got round to setting up revanced properly, where you basically download an old .apk and then run it through the manager to modify it yourself. Fascinating process that makes you feel way more tech savvy than you actually are. You can go onto the app store for individual apps and select just those to not update, that's why I've done.

They must have changed something over the weekend as my Kodi plugin stopped working and I've seen people say that other things they use for accessing YouTube are having issues too.

pyknosis posted:I wanted to rewatch Star Trek TNG a few weeks ago but the only stealing methods I could find (do we still get banned for talking about this?) were absurdly large file size 4k remastered versions.... it was almost inconvenient enough to make me pay for Paramount Plus. That's jut how it is. 1GB an episode would be okayish 1080p quality, and there's what, 176 episodes? You're going to be downloading a lot of data simply because of how many episodes there is.

goatface posted:I know torrents still exist, but it really feels like a technology of the past. Like you're getting stuff off Kazaa or something. I'll admit it took some setting up, but I have a program that I give a list of TV shows to and I point it at my torrent client and my media centre software and it handles everything. I just turn the TV on and the shows are there, ready to watch from the comfort of my couch.

If you're really command line averse there's always been GUIs for it, I've never used any though because I'm a Linux user/masochist.
