The only option (other than mitm-ing yourself and stripping ads from the html maybe) for blocking first party ads or spoofed first party ads is ublock origin on firefox

dns filtering can only block domains, ublock does full cosmetic filtering.

These apps seem pretty similar (although new and barebones): memmy https://testflight.apple.com/join/6jaRU6rD

You can basically have a "full" desktop environment with hyprland+nwg-panel+7 other programs, I'm not sure why nobody has distributed something like this preconfigured though. I'm planning on cooking one up.

I haven't been on tpb ever, is it a decent tracker now?

We are never getting r/195 back

  • So can qt, gtk and pretty much any gui toolkit
  • Syncthing or git annex functionally the same
  • So is every other terminal

Basically just wasting resources for no reason

Oh also for downsides like half the instances have dogshit uptime or are slow so I just use it as an index of youtube videos then play them in mpv

Invidious/piped are basically just privacy proxies for youtube that provide a lightweight frontend for youtube as well.

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/About-%22Why-uBlock-Origin-works-so-much-better-than-Pi%E2%80%91hole-does%3F%22 You are not correct. Ublock Origin is superior for tracking protection and also stops the network requests. DNS adblocking cannot stop first party tracking or ads.

It has no meaningful place or benefits and everyone defending it seems to just be saying "erm, well why not!" and ignoring the problems its caused when compared to distros like endeavouros

install ublock origin
