Ads have started to straight up break the internet for me. I can go to websites and they'll complain about my ad blocker, and the only help I get is "disable your extensions." I don't even have any extensions! No ad block! But sites still curl up and die on me.

Is it because my browser is hardened? Is it Linux? Do I have to fork over private data to use a site and if I don't they pretend the issue is ad blockers?

Well, Google sure is trying to take us in the direction of "you have to log in to Chrome to use the internet".

[-] sfxrlz@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Well let’s see how that goes when chrome is no longer google

Google is just going to stall and delay until Trump's goons come in. Then, suddenly, the DOJ will have a change of heart.

Ngl, I run Firefox and the usual suite of adblockers and haven't experienced any issues. I do the same on my phone (Firefox in "desktop mode").

I didn’t use adblockers when they had occasional normal ad breaks. Now when I have to watch on a TV app its just a garbage experience.

Yep I know but our main entertainment device is an Apple TV.

YouTube is a monopoly. The reason no one really uses multiple platforms to upload videos at the same level as YouTube is because it was run for a long time at a loss to push out all competition. I have no simpthy.

I"m just going to watch youtube less.

Why paying for no longer having an ad free experience, if you can have a really ad free YouTube for free?

[-] Peruvian_Skies@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Google can suck the shit directly from my asshole Human Centipede style if they think I'm ever going to pay them for.not using their monopoly to harass me. When I can no longer feasibly block ads on YouTube, I'll just move to another platform. Thank goodness they're about to lose Chrome because otherwise they'd soon be injecting ads directly through the browser just like they do in their shitty news app.

I ❤️ FreeTube

smarttube.app

[-] ngn@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

i genuinely dont see why would anyone use the official youtube app/website to watch content at this point

[-] howsetheraven@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

On firefox I've been occasionally seeing ads leak into videos lately but refreshing usually fixes it.

[-] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago

Google's, not Youtube's.

Clipious + invidious (Wish Piped worked) ftw
