If you don’t have this kit you will be bombarded to Temu’s ads

Sigh
Try out boost (for Lemmy), and if you like it there’s a small one time payment option to support the Dev and remove ads
Oh for sure. Sync offers that as well, I just haven’t taken it up yet.
Try !summit@lemmy.world It’s dev is more active than Sync and Boost. And don’t have any ads.
Thanks, I’ll give it a try. It’s been months since the last boost update and in 2024 it’s hard to find up to date recommendations.
Download jerboa
Invidious hasn’t been working for most of this year, so this doesn’t seem like a 2024 guide.
Why don’t you download something like Voyager or Thunder from f-droid?
I’ve really been enjoying Eternity (also available on f-droid)
Yhea, I’ve been using Eternity for almost all my Lemmy browsing. Only client for me!
Phone settings > Private DNS > set DNS provider host name to dns.adguard-dns.com.
Problem solved.
Very easy for a majority of people.
As an alternative, for those who want to dive in or have more control: Self host PiHole or AdGuard Home DNS. Either use WireGuard VPN and set the DNS manually, or setup a DoT/DoH service. Either way works.
Rethink android app is also really good and extremely configurable.
there’s some good shit in these comments that I need to come back to later.
UBO can block YT ads, no need to use a seperate ad blocker for YT
I use uBlock Origin on Firefox and I’ve never even seen the semblance of an ad.
Are you using Chrome, and have they implemented V3, yet?
Currently V3 is in Canary channel or maybe in Beta but surely not (yet) in the stable version.
Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it
NewPipe and FreeTube if you want YT subscriptions without ads
Addy.io or simplelogin for email account signups
Invidious works cross device in the browser though. Handles subscriptions just fine.
On Iphone its the only proper option.
I do run my own service, ymmv using a public one.
Firefox Relay is another free email alias generator.
Proton pass is another
Proton acquired Simplelogin (or partnered?) so it’s one and the same. There’s a chance you may be able to get more aliases by using both the simplelogin and the proton accounts though…
A paid proton account can have infinite aliases
The limit for Proton itself is so generous I haven’t needed to. I have an alias for almost every single online account I have, and it’s all built in to the password manager. Very handy.
I have capped the whole 3 services :|
How many aliases do you have? I have a couple hundred IIRC
With the free services? I may have to look back into it I thought I capped them at around 20 each. I mean active though.
I have a my personal mail server send stuff to my aliases and they relay it to proton
I’ll be honest I am very glad that works for you, but I don’t like touching email servers with a 10 foot pole haha. Too much trouble for me.
And SmartTube for Android TV
Tubular is also good. It’s NewPipe with dislikes + SponsorBlock
If I can’t recover an account because I used temp mail
I just make another
Can’t you re-use those emails? I use random email aliases almost everywhere, and I store them in bitwarden.
You can re-use those but so does anyone, so you should consider those accounts as public.
What’s the upside down Z-Library icon in the lower left for YT?
Idk it’s not NewPipe or Grayjay
Invidous
Currently, it is recovering from attacks from Google. Only self-hosting works reliably at the moment…
IDCAC should not be on this list since it was compromised, ABP-style. consent-o-matic is probably better but the most direct replacement is “I Still Don’t Care About Cookies”.
Doesn’t the “EasyList/uBO – Cookie Notices” filter in uBlock’s settings do the same thing as IDCAC / consent-o-matic?
Cookie notices and consent forms are two different things. The first comes from the ePrivacy Directive while the second comes from the GDPR. Consent forms are not only about cookies, the law doesn’t even specify cookies and it’s often using confusing phrasing (like “allow to use personal data collected through cookies or other means”).
iI think consentomatic scripts the opt-out interaction. idcac probably just hides the popup.
Privacy badger is not longer needed IIRC, its role is taken care by uBlock.
Shift+RClickto force the browser’s native context menu instead of triggering a JavaScript event.Ctrl+Shift+E(and then perhapsCtrl+F5) to see URLs of resources.sponsorblock, return youtube dislike
DONT use the “I Don’t Care About Cookies” plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/22/24080135/avast-security-privacy-software-ftc-fine-data-harvesting
Oh yeah, I gotta get rid of Avast, it keeps flagging things that straight up aren’t viruses, what’s a good alternative?
iirc Windows Defender does a decent job. However, if you are a JavaScript developer, try to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.
I personally have stopped running antivirus on Windows a couple years ago. Since I run most, if not all, untrusted software in VMs, I didn’t see the point of wasting performance. On the host, I only run Firefox and Steam/Epic games.
I then moved to Linux and I have 2 GPUs; one for the host and one for VMs with games. But that’s probably a different story.
ry to add node_modules to the exceptions, unless you don’t care much about the performance hit.
Does windows defender go crazy constantly scanning the files or something? I have a TON of machines running automated tasks using node and any drop in CPU usage would be much appreciated.
Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Its really best to keep browser extensions as few as possible for fingerprinting resistance
To OP/readers you’re OK with extensions this would be a better pick imo (read installation instructions)
Why would someone use that instead of uBlock origin cookie filter?
Not using the addon, but I simply didn’t know uBlock can do that.
No, use consent-o-matic, which is even configurable and thus better in every way.
You fools. You absolute buffoons. Clearly you should be using the open source, free (beer) web browser I cooked up in my basement
no thanks i’m not a fan of webkit

I’d actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn’s reply to this post).
Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox’s Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.
Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don’t explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.
Cookie autodelete doesn’t work with strict mode and you should use strict mode. Just drop it.
You don’t need an extension to auto remove cookies with Firefox.
Can I white list sites too?
Never mind, saw your other comment. Thanks!
You’re right. I’ll be damned. That’ll teach me to set-and-forget then not keep up with changes to Firefox and their effects on extensions. Thanks for the heads up.
Here’s how to auto-delete cookies without an extension: https://github.com/arkenfox/user.js/blob/128.0/user.js#L669
Set
privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdownandprivacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage(I don’t know ifprivacy.clearOnShutdown.cookiesis still needed) totrue. To allow a website to keep cookies do CTRL+I on the address bar then check “Set cookie” in the Permissions tab.Isn’t this toggleable in the regular firefox settings, whitout using about:config flags?
I use that one on iOS. In Firefox I use the native functionality (the
cookiebanners.service.modeflag). See https://community.mozilla.org/en/campaigns/firefox-cookie-banner-handling/. I also setcookiebanners.ui.desktop.enabledtotrueto make this setting appear in the settings menu.I didn’t know it was native too!
I use uBlock Origin’s picker mode instead. It lets you select which element you want block. It works on other annoying notices, popus and annoying stuff not just cookie notices
clicking the cookie notice away with the picker mode doesn’t mean the cookies don’t apply.
It should according to eu law and siteadmins that still do it should be tarred and feathered
it would illegal if cookie apply before you accept, so just hide should work.
but bet they do it anyway.
What’s the one in the bottom left?
I have adblocked yt and pirated yt music on my phone, but those 1 minute ads between 1:50 songs on my tv are getting to me…bad.
I’m damn near ready to yeet the tv off the balcony.
I just use my tv as a big monitor, no way i would ever give my tv internet access
Strong agree. I would pay more for a non-smart tv. They’re probably all smart these days, aren’t they? Ugh.
Thankfully it is easy to not connect them. The newest TV I bought I connected it once via Ethernet during setup to get the latest software, then unplugged it. Has been working fine for a year with no issue.
I don’t care, really. I’m going to just use the inputs on the TV with whatever peripheral I plug into it anyway.
If it has to be updated to be used in the first place then I’ll update it, disconnect it from the internet, block it at the router level and then use it as a monitor, which it is.
We shouldn’t have to do this, but, the world sucks, so… shrug
A Yeet Cannon is a fine solution to any TV. Personally I recommend a 12ga slug or buckshot for any and all TVs. There is nothing worth the effort to watch and even less worth paying for.
Books, books are where it’s at these days. What is old has become new again!
We’re not allowed any firearms here, i could maybe 3d print one lol.
I like a book every so often, but they don’t play music all that well unfortunately.
Invideous. A Software that provides an alternative YouTube look/frontend. There are also people who host invideous instances as publicaly accessible websites. Sadly all the public instances have been blocked by youtube for about a month now. I hope there will be a fix soon.
Pretty sure it’s a chevron from stargate?
Two figures on either side, praying beside a pyramid with the sun directly above it.
If you want a usable mail for all your accounts that is also spam resistant, may I recommend https://port87.com
Or just buy a domain for like $12 and use it for catch-all email. My custom domain routes everything to a single inbox, and I can tailor the email address specifically to who/what I’m making an account for. And if I ever see spam hit that address, I can just set a rule to automatically spam anything that comes in at that address.
For example, maybe I sign up for a Target account using Target@[mydomain]. Then a few weeks later, I see spam addressed to Target@[mydomain]. I now know Target has sold my info, and I can automatically route everything addressed to Target@[mydomain] directly to spam. Now I have no more spam hitting my inbox, because it all automatically gets sent straight to spam.
What happens if you need to place an order using your Target account. Wouldn’t your receipt and shipping confirmation also go to that spam folder?

What if your standing at checkout with the red card app ready to go but it asked for the last four digits of your card so you called your spouse to read you the last four digits of the card while you cursed the very idea of the red card in the app if they are going to require biometrics and occasionally ask for the last four digits I mean really why even have the app if you need to carry the card right?
But then you get the last four digits and enter it and it says “please check your email for a unique one-time password”.
What then?
Yeah, that’s fine. That would be a very manual process, whereas Port87 makes the process automatic. But, yeah, you get most of what Port87 offers that way, you just have to pay for it.
Anyone know if there is a proper solution to block ads on twitch? ublock doesn’t work for me.
Anything on Pixeltris’ TwitchAdSolutions should work. I use the ublock filter and that works great.
VPN set to a country that doesn’t get served ads.
try something from the scripts section on here:
https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions?tab=readme-ov-fileA note: Some days it will not work and ads will go through. Don’t panic. You only need to wait until the next day at most for this to get patched though. They’ve very good at keeping up!
I use one that works 90% of the time. I can’t remember the exact name so I’ll check when I get home but it’s something like “Purple Adblocker”.
