Surprised anyone can use the internet without uBlock Origin tbh

[–] Sotuanduso@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I just use a different adblock ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah still, the point is how tf do people tolerate the Internet with all the ads.

Why? Mine works just fine, and diversity is strength against countermeasures.

Ublock origin, not ublock.

Ublock origin is the best adblocker.

ublock is a different thing thats no bueno

I only just switched over to firefox + UBO on my phone, and it's so much better. I had just assumed that the beautiful ad-free experience I get on my PC wasn't available on phone, but by jove it is.

U matrix is also a great option, it takes original to the max and lets you automatically allow list or deny list specific domains and their components (html, css, JavaScript, cookies, frames, and xhr(i think that was the last option not sure)

It also lets you block mixed content, referrer information and a lot more. It’s been incredibly helpful

I used a browser on someone else's computer recently and was shocked at all the advertisements on sites I frequent. It really is a game-changer.

uBlock won't save you in steam overlay browser.

[–] EuroNutellaMan@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

For that there's other ways buy honestly I almost never use it

Setup a Pihole and never face this issue again. Blocks ads at dns level which doesn’t get everything but gets the majority of ads.

All you need to do is make sure to keep the lil guy updated. You can even view your traffic and see which ads aren’t getting caught and manually add those domains.

Lastly, you play minecraft in steam? What is wrong with you 😝
