A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It's all good just make sure you have an up-to-date ublock-based extension: https://reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/17j6ygs/youtube_antiadblock_and_ads_october_29_2023_mega/

As of writing this Adblock Plus isn't working with Youtube but no reason you should be using that over ublock origin anyways.

I have Ad Guard installed and still use UBlock Origin for its features.

I'm still waiting for Google to ban uBlock Origin from the Chrome addon store.

@drwho @xoggy yeah eh. Maybe it has such a unique footprint it just opens up more tracking opportunities through fingerprinting. 🙃

I think they just haven't gotten around to it yet.

All the more reason to switch to Firefox!
