I'm not worried. The minute the ad blockers stop working I'll finally be able to do something else with my time.

Hmmm maybe I'll just learn to read finally.

Days ago I discovered vacuumtube for steam deck. It's basically youtube with tv interface but with all the adblocks. It works wonders in game mode and even has controller support.

https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-homedunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i 'need to' look at a yt vid.
adguard's free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable 'acceptable ads' and ignore offer to 'upgrade' to a paid version) is, too.

I got warnings to disable my ad blocker on my Chromebook recently, but did not get the same on my Linux desktop using Firefox.
I really ought to get away from the default software on the Chromebook (Firefox via Crouton or Android or something), but it didn't work well last time I tried.

schrieb am 14. Juni 2025, 07:03 zuletzt editiert vonIs there support for blocking individual elements of a page in v3 version of uBlock Origin? (I won't be surprised if it lacked it). I usually block various other elements of page like useless headers/footers/comment sections on some sites I routinely visit on Firefox.
