Have you noticed yet how YouTube takes the liberty to disable your ad-blocking extension when accessing the site with chrome? I have ad-block and since recently when I open YouTube I'll get a message that ad-blockers aren't allowed and then YT refreshes the page pausing ad-block. You can see how the shield goes from red to green.

What the actual f? Not intrusive at all.

Chrome is a shitcoin

yeah that too

Gotta stop using shit browsers sir lol try brave

I mostly use tor as browser but you're right maybe it's time to revisit brave.

Just use brave, never had an issue or ads.

Yeah maybe I should go back to brave. I used it for a long time then, at one point, it got very slow for me. I think I still have some of their token flying around too. Never did anything with it.

I turn off the crypto stuff. It’s a little memory heavy like any chromium based browser, but haven’t had speed issues.

They're an evil fucking company and the day HQ burns to the ground it will be a good day for humanity

wen act of god?

They make their money from advertising.. it is like asking not having advertisements in newspaper :-)

As far as privacy is concerned, I think one can use YouTube without logging in with google account .. I use it unlogged from alexa silk browser .. it works well except I don't care for history etc ..

Which ad blocker do you recommend?

AdBlock has been working well for me. But I also have an extension to run scripts and the VPN blocks DNS content

They have also removed support for many ad blocker extensions. Stop using chrome. On second thought, stop using google altogether or reduce your dependency on google by using alternatives.

yeah. it's the gaming rig. also runs windows 🤣

I use steam deck and nintendo switch (modded, ofcourse) for gaming. For other personal use I have linux. Only for office work I am forced to use windows.

How did you mod your switch? Any tips?

If you have switch v1 (old model) then it's very easy. You just have to install software mod (Hekate and Atmosphere) by following tutorials on YouTube.

If you have switch v2/oled/lite then you have to buy picofly mod chip and solder it on your switch. And then you install Hekate and Atmosphere.

I got a guy in a video game store to do it for $70 (Picofly Chip + Soldering + Installing Mod Files).

Since then I have probably played 100s of games for free, on my switch.

Yeah they're not crossing any red lines there, jackasses 🤣
