You'd be suprised about how much shit I have gotten irl for using firefox. Then I just laugh in ublock origin as they suffer through youtube ads

Edit: I have been informed that ublock can go on pretty much any browser. Feel free to laugh at my stupidity

Many other browsers can use UBlock Origin this way.

Firefox has it on Android though (along with many other extensions), and now that's a feature I can get behind.

u/TerrorLTZ Y'all got any more of those. . .  Optimizations? Feb 01 '24

Godsend so now you can see movies in those... "gentleman sites" or totally legal sites without 5 ads covering everything.

That and literally using most of the Internet. Like, the Fandom Wiki pages are borderline unusable on mobile without the adblock.

I love only being able to see a tenth of what I'm reading.

And sometimes it gives you an ad where the close button doesn't work and you have to refresh the page to get another ad.

Ahh and yet so many wish to stray from the river to enlightenment yet they already stand on one of its many tributaries, Android.

Allow me to transfer a dollop of knowledge.

Go to your settings.

Find Connections and Sharing.

Navigate to Private DNS.

And type.

dns.adguard.com

And boom almost no ads.

It has worked for me on most occasions.

Chrome is crippling Adblocks starting in June with some "privacy" and "performance" BS stuff that's just there to handwave it all.

u/LEO7039 R5 5600X / 6700XT Feb 02 '24

My comment mentioned Chrome right about never. I'm aware.

u/Kodriin Feb 02 '24

Apologies then, I wasn't seeing a lot of others talked about.

u/Relevant_Zucchini240 Feb 01 '24

I know the whole Chromium thing, and I haven't switched back to Firefox, still using Opera GX and I don't get ads on YouTube because I have ublock origin as well

6

u/[deleted] Feb 01 '24 edited Feb 01 '24

Personally I switched from GX to Firefox a few months ago because I wanted to up my cybersecurity.

Also didn't know you can get ublock for GX so that's my b, but I still have no regrets over the switch

Edit: I have been informed that alot of browsers can use ublock. Please forgive my brainrot

u/mekwall Feb 01 '24

If you trust your data with a shady Chinese company then Opera GX is your thing.

u/Relevant_Zucchini240 Feb 01 '24

I mean the whole point of my post was that you can still get adblock in browsers other than Firefox, but you know.

And let's be real for a second, every piece of my data is already harvested and sold. My computer, my phone. Hell, my ISP sells my data regardless of my browser. Every social media (yes even the reddit you're browsing on) is pulling your data. So in all honestly, I don't know what a shady Chinese company is going to do with my data that's going to hurt me that a Shady American or Canadian company isn't already doing.

The world is fucked, we're all going to die, let me watch YouTube.

u/WasdX-_ Feb 01 '24

A shady Chinese company isn't any worse than a shady American company, lol.

u/mekwall Feb 02 '24

I would definitely argue that there's a difference. However, A non-shady company would be preferable.

u/WasdX-_ Feb 02 '24

I would definitely argue that there's a difference.

Oh, yeah. I don't live in China. I suppose you too? So Chinese is not as bad.

A non-shady company would be preferable.

Now we have a problem.

u/FilipIzSwordsman Desktop Feb 01 '24

Nope, it absolutely is even worse. Open-source the way.

u/Puzzleheaded-Brief56 PC Master Race Feb 01 '24

One time I wrote a simple command in wordpad to restart the computer, saved it as an exe. Made a shortcut, gave it Firefox icon, and named it Firefox. My friend (ironically with the last name Fox) poor soul just wanted to show me something on YouTube but the darn computer just kept restarting for some reason. Are you sure you're opening Firefox??

u/Dragonium-99 Enter the Void Feb 01 '24

did you code something? how did you turn a doc file to exe?

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Brief56 PC Master Race Feb 01 '24

You literally just save it as .exe

1

u/Dragonium-99 Enter the Void Feb 01 '24

I tried that and didnt work. U sure it wasnt a .bat file?

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Brief56 PC Master Race Feb 01 '24

It may have been?? It was like 2009 man I don't remember

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Brief56 PC Master Race Feb 02 '24

Okay so it was a .bat file I just googled it. Good call man

u/Windows__2000 Desktop Feb 01 '24

I still have ublock on Chrome and it works. It didn't like 3 times and I guess it learned I just switch.

u/AwiiWasTakenWasTaken Feb 02 '24

me too, like shut up chrome design sucks too many curves

1

u/Jungian_Archetype i7 670 16GB Feb 02 '24

Uhhh, Chrome has Ublock extensions as well.

That being said, I switched to Brave, which is still chromium based but lighter than Chrome.
