Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?

[-] [email protected] 48 points 10 months ago

I know that I'm at fault here for using such services, but Pihole can't block the ads that are hosted on the same server as the service, eg. Half the ads on Youtube.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

It's still really good for privacy though, blocking mIcRoSoFt spyware and all kinds of other stuft. And you can create your own blocklists.

I just got a pihole setup and im curious how youd block Microsoft stuff using it. Is it part of a blocklist or is it something you manually filtered?

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

one of Dan's list blocks a bunch of them, has something like 500k item on it.

Just know that DoH is probably going to ruin the fun for you. Unless your blocking all DoH hosts.

In my Opnsense setup I have some lists added to block all traffic to known DoH servers...

I'm not loyal to a browser, I'm loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I'd switch overnight

[-] [email protected] 49 points 10 months ago

Which is exactly the way it should be. And it's a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides

Have you heard about our god and savior newpipe ?

Libretube is also a fine option. Available on F-droid

Newpipe Sponsorblock is a think.

[-] WhyJiffie 11 points 10 months ago

From me it would need more. Chrome has more (mostly privacy related) disadvantages compared to Firefox than that

[-] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

You don't care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google's new invasive advertising system?

Fuck Chrome

Then their pages are not worth viewing.

[-] WhyJiffie 8 points 10 months ago

That does not always work like that. Sometimes you are obliged to use a website that is resistant to user privacy

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

You always have a choice.

And even if the choice is worse, you can still spoof your user agent.

[-] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

whaaaaat

I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.

So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 10 months ago

It's even more horrifying when you realize that's a lower bound. It doesn't even include dynamically loaded ads from the same domains, and it doesn't include ads that can't be blocked because it would stop services from working.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Infuriating, isn't it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose

[-] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago

Was using Chrome as my main browser and FF as my second browser last week. Uninstalled Chrome, made Firefox my main browser and Waterfox as my second browser. Forget Chrome and forget Edge!

if only ublock could stop these Firefox ads

Meanwhile Mozilla: fires 200 workers to pay the CEO 2M :)

[-] [email protected] 22 points 10 months ago

Ah well then I guess Google actually isn't destroying privacy after all

There's LibreWolf, Waterfox, Basilisk, Pale Moon and Pulse. You don't have to support Mozilla if you don't want to and at the same you don't have to submit to Chrome's supremacy.

[-] darcy 6 points 10 months ago

I love librewolf

[-] [email protected] 5 points 10 months ago

Do you have source?

First slide says something along the lines of "boo, i just use adblock" and the second one should make sense

[-] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

WEI has a lot of issues and should not ever be implemented, but it's not going to stop you from using ad blockers, nor could it be made to do so.

The issues with it are that it makes it much easier to individually track users and it will make it nearly impossible for new browsers to gain traction.
