uBlock Origin already passed a law forcing YouTube to skip ads.
The Mozilla CEO has talked about how much money they could make by blocking ad blockers.
That would definitely be enough of a push to get me looking into alternatives to Firefox! Or enough of a push to spend time digging into and setting up network-level blocking. Or both.
I recommend Freetube.
Cool, I’ll look into that for YouTube, but I do also need a browser for other sites that blocks ads.
Unfortunately, it seems every browser that isn’t firefox or chrome is based on either firefox or chrome. Fortunately, since firefox is opensource it can be forked.
I use Zen browser. It’s a fork of firefox with better features.
On mobile I use IronFox, and I’m certain there’s a similar project for desktop.
no more half measures walter
Should be a ban on ads in general. We get one life, I don’t care about your shitty product.
100% ban on commercial advertising, we can have a few minutes per hour of media broadcast for public education
For real, if I don’t know your product exists i don’t need it
but what if i told you about some research chemical dick pills, a new crypto currency exchange, and an online casino that would make you feel like you’ve lived TWO lifetimes?
Vietnam about to become a very popular VPN location
Someone who knows how to use a VPN also knows how to use an adblocker
The real trick is to use locations where ads aren’t run at all. For example, Twitch doesn’t run ads in Czechia or Occupied Korea.
Why Czhechia?
I don’t know. Just something I heard one time when trying to find a workaround for twitch ads that beat adblockers, and it works.
Yeah it works. I know loads of VPN services will have servers in Czechia. Must be that they have some strong GDPR laws, good internet infra or something else coz I can’t find much from a few searches.
Should be immediate
what if they just don’t comply? does vietnam have the economic power of e.g. the eu?
Vietnam beat the US before…
