YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads
  • i added 2-3 other adblockers

    Never run multiple adblockers at the same time. You gain nothing except broken websites, performance issues, and an increased chance of triggering anti-adblocks.

  • YSK: Here's a list of browser extensions to un-shittify Youtube
  • uBO do remove trackers with the EasyPrivacy and uBlock filters – Privacy filters. More filters and options can also be enabled if you know what you're doing. For beginners it's best to stick to the default settings as more additions can lead to more breakage.

  • If you use uBO then Ghostery is redundant. It can also cause some of uBO's filters to not work correctly.

    Also uBO can do what you did with stylebot. (If you use the full uBO extension, and not the limited Lite version for Chromium browsers):

  • What successful or popular movie that many loved you just HATE?
  • Probably most films by Darren Aronofsky. Pi and The Fountain are some of the worst movies I've seen. Feels like someone's artsy shroom trip. I dislike most "artsy" movies without a coherent story.

    Also a lot of horror classics bores me to death. For example The Omen, Poltergeist, The Exorcist.

    Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads
  • Make sure jnn-pa.googleapis.com isn't blocked anywhere in your network. It may perhaps be blocked in a filter list you have activated in uBO, DNS, VPN, Firewall, anti-virus, Firefox enhanced tracking protection, etc.

  • Immutable distro on a PC. Thoughts and experience?
  • && flatpak update

    You can also include && flatpak uninstall --unused in your alias to clean up more space.

  • open-source nvidia driver with flatpak
  • You shouldn't have to install any flatpak dependency manually. Flatpak should handle it for you automatically when you install your programs. (In most cases.)

  • I think I also had this issue using Cinnamon once, but then I just used VLC instead. Never bothered to look into why. Worked fine in GNOME for me though.

    I found a thread with a similar issue: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/flatpak-mpv-broken-since-20240306-snapshot/172981

    There it seems the issue was audio. Try running the flatpak version with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv --ao=pulse path-to-your-media-file

  • Manifest V2 phase-out begins
    • On June 3rd, Chrome(ium) users will start being informed that their MV2 extensions will soon stop to function. uBlock Origin (and others) will lose the "Featured" badge.
    • The remaining MV2 extensions will be gradually disabled in the "coming months", with the last deadline being the beginning of next year. (Expect that uBO will probably not last that long).

    What options do you have if you still want to use uBlock Origin?

    • Firefox (and up to date forks) have no plans to end support for the webrequest API that uBO requires.
    • Brave browser will allow MV2 extensions for now. I still have no info on if they are going to use their own store or require manual installation/updating of MV2 extensions.
    • If you use Chrome. By enabling enterprise policy ExtensionManifestV2Availability, you should be able to extend support till June 2025.
    • uBlock Origin Lite (uBOL) is a MV3 extension that is much more limited than uBO and is not intended to be a replacement for uBO. These limitations are described in detail in the FAQ for uBOL: https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-asked-questions-(FAQ)
  • YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers
  • For the flatpak version the mpv.conf file can be created in ~/.var/app/io.mpv.Mpv/config/mpv/. You probably don't need to link it to the yt-dlp python file as the flatpak mpv version should come with the latest yt-dlp.

  • Mint is known to use old software in its repositories as it's based on Ubuntu LTS. The flatpak mpv should work though. flatpak install flathub io.mpv.Mpv and then run it with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

    If you don't want to type flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv all the time, you can create an alias in your ~/.bashrc file. For example: alias play='flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv'. (After editing your bashrc file, run: source ~/.bashrc to activate the change). Then you can run it with play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ.

  • YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers
  • Your mpv or vlc versions may be too old. Try updating them to the latest versions.

  • YouTube videos are skipping to the end for users with adblockers
  • Sounds like a bug in the filters used by Adblock and Adblock Plus. Afaik uBO or Adguard aren't affected.

  • What am I doing wrong (OpenSuse)?
  • OpenSUSE use patterns. Groups of packages that can be selected during installation. If one of the included pattern packages is removed it will be "fixed" when updating. You can uninstall some patterns, but be careful as some may be more important than others, leaving you without a graphical interface or something like that. If you decide to do a reinstall, you can deselect a lot of patterns (search for "pattern" in the software selection section of the installer).

  • Just Firefox/Librewolf with uBlock Origin is enough. The more extensions you add, the larger the attack surface and chance of site breakage. A common mistake many do is to add multiple blockers on top of uBO which will decrease uBO's ability to defuse various anti-adblocks. This also includes addons like Privacy Badger, Ghostery, DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, etc. uBO have good enough privacy protection enabled by default. If you want more, enable some other privacy filter lists. And if you know what you're doing, enable hard mode by blocking all 3rd party requests and JavaScript.

    If you want to feel more secure when adding more extensions to your browser, then only use Firefox addons that are recommended by Mozilla. Those extensions have gone through a review process to make sure they don't contain anything malicious.

    If you're like me and don't care about recommendations and being able to comment, then use Freetube with sponsorblock enabled.

  • [UserScript] Just another lemmy style inspired by some old subreddit styles

    This is a style I primarily made for myself, but why not share it. It's inspired by some of the old subreddit styles and the old youtube design.

    • Should work with litely and darkly plus compact variants.
    • Uses rounded thumbnails to external links.
    • Uses square thumbnails to internal images.
    • Colored proprietary social media thumbs with their brand colors. (So you don't accidentally click on a youtube link for example).

    There still are some things I have to fix in the dark theme, like buttons and card headers for example.

    [help] Is there a way to detect if a user is using one of the litely or darkly themes?

    I'm currently using const prefersDarkTheme = window.matchMedia('(prefers-color-scheme: dark)').matches; but it doesn't take into consideration users that use a light system with a dark website.

    EDIT: Solved with the following: javascript const element = document.getElementById("app"); const themeVariant = element.getAttribute("data-bs-theme"); if (themeVariant === "light") { var primaryBackground = "#f0f0f0"; } else { var primaryBackground = "#121317"; }
