Another recommendation for YT:
It is Community-Based. Ppl (like you) mark timecodes from sponsor ads and if toggled on those will be skipped. You can whitelist channels as well if you want to.
150% better YT-experience!
If I'm going to see an ad, I do prefer sponsor ads over the injected YT ads. At least I can hope the content creators are getting paid directly for the ad.
Shift + RClick to force the browser's native context menu instead of triggering a JavaScript event.
Ctrl + Shift + E (and then perhaps Ctrl + F5) to see URLs of resources.
What's the one in the bottom left?
I have adblocked yt and pirated yt music on my phone, but those 1 minute ads between 1:50 songs on my tv are getting to me...bad.
I'm damn near ready to yeet the tv off the balcony.
I just use my tv as a big monitor, no way i would ever give my tv internet access
Strong agree. I would pay more for a non-smart tv. They're probably all smart these days, aren't they? Ugh.
Thankfully it is easy to not connect them. The newest TV I bought I connected it once via Ethernet during setup to get the latest software, then unplugged it. Has been working fine for a year with no issue.
I don't care, really. I'm going to just use the inputs on the TV with whatever peripheral I plug into it anyway.
If it has to be updated to be used in the first place then I'll update it, disconnect it from the internet, block it at the router level and then use it as a monitor, which it is.
We shouldn't have to do this, but, the world sucks, so... shrug
Pretty sure it's a chevron from stargate?
Two figures on either side, praying beside a pyramid with the sun directly above it.
A Yeet Cannon is a fine solution to any TV. Personally I recommend a 12ga slug or buckshot for any and all TVs. There is nothing worth the effort to watch and even less worth paying for.
Books, books are where it's at these days. What is old has become new again!
We're not allowed any firearms here, i could maybe 3d print one lol.
I like a book every so often, but they don't play music all that well unfortunately.
Invideous. A Software that provides an alternative YouTube look/frontend. There are also people who host invideous instances as publicaly accessible websites. Sadly all the public instances have been blocked by youtube for about a month now. I hope there will be a fix soon.
note that I don't care about cookies and Privacy badger is unnecessary when you have uBO. Also get Bypass Paywalls Clean though.
What is "No need YT ads" and the "Ctrl+P"?
Ctrl P is to print a page. The idea is you quickly press print before the paywall loads, so you can read the full article
Pressing ESC works in some cases too. It stops loading the page
That’s ~~piped~~ invidious an alternative frontend for YT but Google has been cracking down on it so YMMV and ctrl+p prints a webpage in browser which used to work for circumventing paywalls but nowadays it’s not really a thing anymore
Bypass paywall clean Firefox is a really good addition as well
archive.is or archive.ph is what I use for getting past paywalls. If it’s a hard membership paywall there won’t be much you can do about it. If it’s just a splash screen, they work by removing the annoying stuff that prevents you from going further since they have to package the content for SEO. The archive sites basically grab that content as if they were going to index it for a search engine, but then they present it in human readable format instead.
Who is Temu?
I'd actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
I use that one on iOS. In Firefox I use the native functionality (the cookiebanners.service.mode flag). See https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/. I also set cookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabled to true to make this setting appear in the settings menu.
I didn't know it was native too!
Drop IDCAC and Privacy Badger, add consent-o-matic, sponsorblock and bypass paywall clean.
