ublock origin, brave with aggressive adblocking and adguard for desktop with some kind of adblocking DNS

and then, you will finally be able to enjoy websites without any bullshit.

It wasn't always like this. it used to be the case that one form of adblocking was enough. And I really want the internet to go back to the way it was 15 or 16 years ago when you didn't need to be careful about what you said online and keeping windows machines secure was simple as long as you knew what to get.

i don't understand how brave gets so much rep

[–] Xeroxchasechase@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

Because it's brave like a lion and not coward like a fox on fire.

There's a shitcoin associated with it.

because it's good at fingerprint blocking and it's sync-accounts don't even require an email address.

All your "effort" gets flushed down the toilet with Brave lol

what browser is as good at fingerprint-spoofing besides brave? I mean...Librewolf is pretty good at making its fingerprint look like all the others...as long as the letterboxing is turned on and you don't adjust the ratio of the window a unique way

That other chromium based browser Vivaldi...I think that's how it's spelled, does that have fingerprint protection? does it have it's own anonymous way of setting up a sync account?

Will all of this finally get rid of the ads on the YouTube app on my TV?

[–] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If you have Android tv, you can use smarttube instead of the official one.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

I do not. It's an LG with WebOS.

[–] EmperorHenry@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 6 months ago (1 children)

never use the youtube app, for stuff like that on your smart TV, you need something like iVPN on your router with the "restrictive" setting on the anti-tracker and then you need "adguard home" connected to your home wifi too. it's a device you have to buy that has adguard in it, not sure how it works.

[–] victorz@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Too much work, in all honesty. Also our Internet service provider also provides the router and I'm not sure about replacing it. We have a bulk deal with the whole building.

I'll just keep muting the ads and look away while I do the countdown in my head lol. It's very seldom that I watch YouTube on my TV anyway. 😌
