I feel like we need more attention on this subject. it's so loving bad dude. i emailed the with my complaints about it and their response was basically "lol deal with it, and also actually it's better now." but good news, you can go back to the old less-bad slack still. on a mac you can open the terminal and enter export SLACK_DEVELOPER_MENU=true open /Applications/Slack.app then once slack is open, hit cmd-opt-i to open the console. paste in localStorage.setItem("localConfig_v2", localStorage.getItem("localConfig_v2").replace(/\"is_unified_user_client_enabled\":true/g, '\"is_unified_user_client_enabled\":false')) and hit return, then refresh with cmd-r in windows you can do C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe /c " SET SLACK_DEVELOPER_MENU=TRUE && start C:\existing\path\to\slack.exe" and then open the console and paste that same thing in.

The YouTube thing is annoying Chrome has been running worse and worse for me no matter what I do so I tried Brave and Vivaldi and it seems to run YouTube fine without ads. One thing I didn't get about Brave is it seemed to really push itself as no ads/trackers/etc. but like the mobile app's default page is a game ad? Seemed a lot less customizable than I was expecting too but fine overall. On mobile there's NewPipe of course but on desktop stuff like piped.video or whatever is really cool in theory but never quite works right for me. I had never really read much about Vivaldi but ended up liking it a lot more than I expected so I'll probably be rolling with that. I see people in this thread mention not liking Chromium but are there even any browsers that are decent besides Firefox that aren't based on Chromium? Like is LibreWolf or whatever any good? I used Firefox when it first dropped but in later years it was always super slow for me and never got better for me no matter what I did which yeah maybe that's a user error on my part but like dang lol

I remember arguing against Slack and everyone was like “shut up nerd they let you use your dork IRC client anyhow”. I knew it was a trick but there was no way to explain it to anyone who didn’t already think so without sounding crazy.

I have used the Internet since it first existed. I never used UUCP, though occasionally I sent emails to addresses that specified further transmission via UUCP. I am careful in how I connect to the internet. Specifically, I refuse to connect through portals that would require me to identify myself, or to run any nontrivial nonfree Javascript code. I use LibreJS to prevent nonfree Javascript code from running.. I don't mind giving an identity that isn't really me, in order to connect, if that works. That does not violate my privacy. I often connect in a person's home. The person of course knows who I am, but I have no objection to that. What I would object to is putting my identity in a database that can be searched. I prevent that by changing my mac address at each location. I am careful in how I use the Internet. I generally do not connect to web sites from my own machine, aside from a few sites I have some special relationship with. I usually fetch web pages from other sites by sending mail to a program (see https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/womb/hacks.git) that fetches them, much like wget, and then mails them back to me. Then I look at them using a web browser, unless it is easy to see the text in the HTML page directly. I usually try lynx first, then a graphical browser if the page needs it. I occasionally also browse unrelated sites using IceCat via Tor. Except for rare cases, I do not identify myself to them. I think that plus Tor plus LibreJS is enough to prevent my browsing from being associated with me. IceCat blocks tracking tags and most fingerprinting methods. I never run nonfree Javascript on my browser, unless LibreJS finds it to be trivial. I never pay for anything on the Web, because that generally requires running nonfree Javascript code in my browser. It also requires identifying myself. I never identify myself to buy any product. I avoid paying with credit cards generally. That page describes a very few exceptions. For freedom's sake, insist on paying cash. When a business pressures you to pay in an identified way, it's your chance to defend freedom by saying, "If you won't take my cash, no sale!" I would not mind paying for a copy of an e-book or music recording on the Internet if I could do so anonymously, and it treated me justly in other ways (no DRM or EULA). But that option almost never exists. I keep looking for ways to make it exist. For searching, I often DuckDuckGo. Thanks to Tor and LibreJS, it does not identify me. I used to use searx to search specifically for images, but this no longer works: specifying search for images now depends on nonfree Javascript code. Unless and until this is fixed, I no longer use searx. I also sometimes use ixquick.com. My usual precautions should stop them from knowing it is me. Since several years ago, I cannot directly access Google search. It sends me a broken CAPTCHA. I suspect the reason it tries to send me a CAPTCHA is that I am coming through Tor. I would answer the CAPTCHA if that worked, but it does not. I suspect that the reason the CAPTCHA is broken is that it depends on nonfree Javascript that it tries to run in my computer. I refuse to let that run. I am not willing to let Google see where I am, so I won't bypass Tor. However, the Librex proxies have worked around that problem. They enable me to access Google Search indirectly, and they work correctly through Tor with LibreJS enabled.

is this the "chome bad" thread? chome has announced their intent to experiment with something they're calling "IP Protection" which superficially sounds similar to iCloud Private Relay and uses the same/similar underlying technologies but is apparently aimed at depriving third party trackers from getting the browser's IP address. https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/9s8ojrooa_Q posted:IP Protection is a feature that sends third-party traffic for a set of domains through proxies for the purpose of protecting the user by masking their IP address from those domains. lmao at: 1. the original name for this feature being "Gnatcatcher". you know, those gnats tracking your online activity that aren't big enough to have their own browser and invent the idea of "logging in" to your browser and forcibly conflate it with the idea of logging into the popular websites that you own. hope the EU competition authorities get a hold of the internal emails where they go "oh lol we can't call this Gnatcatcher" in like 5-7 years. 2. the google engineer going "IP means Intellectual Property" 3. the google engineer going "your list of google domains contains long dead google services inbox, wave, orkut" (also plus) 4. the google engineer going "if this is actually effective won't the first parties and third parties collude to expose the browser's real IP via the DOM" 5. "we are just focused on the scripts and domains that are considered to be tracking users […] In this experiment the only sites impacted are Google owned domains"
