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.

? Firefox plus ublock origin works fine on the Mac. Unless you mean ios only?

[–] greenteadrinker@midwest.social 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Probably iOS. I use AdGuard and sideload a YouTube tweak to dodge most of the ads on my browsing experience

Yeah, I should have clarified IOS. Their phones and tablets are locked down with jailbreaks few and far between.
