So I'm looking for more groups that push back against enforced consumption in daily life.

There's:

Are there any others that you know? Maybe already present on the ?

Habt das Verhalten von noch jemand beobachtet? Sobald ich das zweite mal im gleichen Tab suche, kommt die Meldung. Bei Suche neu starten geht es dann aber dann eben immer jede zweite Suche in dem Tab.

Zicken die jetzt auch schon rum weil man nen hat oder nen gehärteten ?

You can have my ad blocker of choice when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. But yesterday I found two more plug-ins that make YouTube tolerable again.

  1. SponsorBlock uses crowd-sourced information on videos that skips over sponsor segments so you don't get annoying "..and talking of bad segues, here's a product!..." bits in the middle of otherwise-interesting broadcasts.

  2. DeArrow removes clickbait on Youtube titles and thumbnails, again by crowd-sourcing.

I've wondered and maybe someone can tell me, instead of #adblock built into #browser programs why not have an ad-drainer? When you block the ad you tip off the source that you are blocking, but instead just read the ad stream and discard it instead of displaying it. The source will not know. Seems easy so am I missing something?

Nothing warms my heart more than another website picking up the idea "Detect Missing Ad-blocker" of https://stefanbohacek.com/project/detect-missing-adblocker-wordpress-plugin/ (after seeing it on mine in action).

#adblock

It's made for WordPress but the idea is so dead simple that it can be integrated in almost anything with some work (if nobody else did that work already :D)

This guy made a tool that beeps every time a website sends data about you to Google. The beeps blur into a continuous buzz: https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/tracker-beeper/

I use Privacy Badger (https://privacybadger.org/, blocks trackers), uBlock Origin (https://ublockorigin.com/, adblocker), Firefox, and the SearXNG search engine (https://searxng.ca/ or find instances at https://searx.space/), but it's annoying I have to.

A video of navigating various popular news sites (Daily Mail, nu.nl, telegraaf.nl) in Chrome. A terminal is visible in the background, running a program that beeps ever time the site reports back to Google.

Youtube and it war with its users continues. And they say it is all about protecting creators. Sounds fishy to me and probably painful.

Data Shedding: Understanding a severe real-time privacy risk

https://peertube.libresolutions.network/w/9nMzvr94JsUJ9diYvynvZL

This explains why using an AdBlocker is more than just keeping annoying advertisements from popping up. There's serious privacy concern.

I use #facebook very rarely, and only with #AdNauseum #adblock / clicker running in strict mode.

Today I went and looked at the few non-personal groups and pages that I was following and tried to add them as RSS feeds to my RSS reader...and you know what...I was 100% successful with that. Bit of a surprise.

Then I de-followed/de-liked any of those pages, since I don't want them to count me among the people who use the dying facebook platform to reach them.

Stube isn't blocking ads today. What happened? Did Google get wise?

Well, , the "privacy focused" French search engine is not only proprietary but now is forcing the user to show ads and disable their ad blocker.

Anyone have any alternative search-engine suggestion apart from duckduckgo (which is practically Bing), and Searx instances?

My "Detect Missing Adblocker" WordPress plugin is now in active use on 70+ websites!

Do you know how to make a page element look like an ad to various privacy and ad-blocking tools?

I could use your help!

Almost all #VideoGames reporting sites are now blocking me & demanding I disable adblockers. (I'm using vanilla #Vivaldi on Android.) 😡

YouTube started doing it and many are quickly following suit.

I wonder if we're quickly approaching a time when most websites block #adblock users by default.

Guess I'll go read a book or something.

Did not know that uBlock has a "disable large media" option.

When enabled it tries to block any media larger than a specified size (until you click on said media)

Less data to load means a faster and cheaper internet 😄
