installing better adblockers

or just updating uBlock lol. not sure what YouTubes team was expecting here

speaks to the state of things in general when the answer is to sue instead of looking within

For anyone wondering why there's people that might not like PayPal, they own the Honey browser extension, which is responsible for possibly one of the largest influencer scams ever. Source

TrackerControl

they were godsends back in the OnePlus 6/7 days because their phones and custom OS was meant to be more root friendly than the rest. it was what sold me and a buddy of mine on them in the first place

sadly, it's gone south now but it was fun back when it happened

Google claims that privacy is a priority

lmfao

You can somewhat protect your own privacy via VPNs, adblockers... I personally use TrackerControl, which for the most part can identify and block unnecessary trackers and URL connections on an app-by-app basis to better protect your privacy

one of the best things about these comics is you never knew what would be on that last panel lol

I use Island for it now. I just thought it was a neat feature to have baked into the OS. Completely unnecessary for most people but saves me a bunch of clicks when customizing a new phone

Gonna go ahead and leave this here:

James Harden finished with more turnovers (5) than made field goals (2) for the 33rd time in his playoff career & the 7th time this postseason.

watching the Celtics get stronger each passing season brings me great anxiety as a heat fan

nice wallpaper! never heard of nobara but looking at it, it looks similar to Zorin OS. what's your experience so far?

i mean in this case, if you're planning to root you'd much rather use a custom OS that will still give you OS updates

or, just buy a different android and avoid the bs entirely

can someone explain how exactly Lemmy works? I was told it was something like an alternative to reddit, but I don't understand what instances are

Trying this, and on first glance, UI seems to be a bit clunky compared to Boost or Eternity. Would like to see an option to keep the bottom tab bar visible when scrolling, that would be nice

Changing the subscriptions/main feed sort order doesn't apply sometimes until I close and reopen the app

Still has a lot of potential, nice seeing these new client apps being worked on for Lemmy!

my mind is telling me no, but my body, my body

there's a lot of inconsistencies with Nothing, you don't really notice at first but it's hard to unsee

didn't work for me at first too, but other YouTube specific ad blockers had side effects (videos opened in new tabs would play automatically instead of waiting for you to switch to that tab, etc)

here's what I did:

• reset uBlock to default settings, then purge caches and update

• clear all caches in your browser (in Firefox/Chrome you can just search for cache in the settings search bar and it'll come up)

• fully close and reopen browser

that guy had to have had some kind of addiction he was constantly paying for... every opportunity to quit while he was ahead and he just kept going until he got caught

Unfortunately no, at least none that I've seen. Sometimes other scans do their own translations of a title, which helps if you're like me and hate the Daily Pass system

But for Webtoon Originals that start off daily passed, there isn't anything. Webtoon is also introducing pay-per-views via their coins system in app, required ads before reading, etc. Overall the app itself is going downhill quick

is accessing other communities of other instances what this app helps with?
