They can't stop dns filters :)
Yes they can. DNS blocking doesn't stop YouTube ads, for example. They could also force chrome to use their own DNS servers and use attestation to make sure you're not bypassing that somehow
Youtube adds? Lol, new pipe baby, havent seen adds in years
New pipe won't work anymore if this is implemented
I block YouTube ads all the same currently anyway. I also don't use Chrome...
Huh? I was able to block all ads on YouTube on my iPad just by installing a AhaDNS profile.
I’m not saying this doesn’t suck, but I really have faith in people’s desire to get around shit to not be too worried about this. I figure there will always be a way to get around anything Google throws at you, even if it ends up being something as complex as running your own proxy server that ends up receiving the full webpage google wants you to see, stripping out everything you don’t want to see, and just forwarding that to whatever browser you choose. Sure, that’s a little more work than I’d like to put in, but if that’s what it ends up taking, it’s not that much effort.
