Created this after reading conversation in comments below some tech article somewhere. Someone mentioned "surfing the #internet sewer" and I really liked that phrase.
On the latest update on Vivaldi 6.7, we've amped up Translate, improved the Tracker and Ad blocker functionality, tweaked the Bookmarks manager, and many other features based on YOUR feedback.
🔖 We understand that Bookmarks are one of the most important aspects of your browsing. Now, Vivaldi remembers the last folder you opened in the Bookmarks Panel. We've also tidied up your bookmarks by sorting folders first, making navigation a breeze.
⚙️ We work with Lingvanex continuously to make the built-in Vivaldi Translate more efficient. With an improved performance and the quality of translations, we hope you'll find speedy results.
In addition to the above, we’ve polished the user interface and made improvements to features across the board.
Find out what they are and enjoy browsing with more of these powerful browser features👇🏻
Deswegen schon nö, weil bei den meisten Seiten dann ebenfalls nur ein Teil des Artikels zu sehen ist und ich dann wieder genötigt werde, ein Abo abzuschließen. Aber dann wurde ich schon getrackt.
Also werde ich das nicht abschalten und grundsätzlich solche Seiten meiden und mein Geld bekommen die auch nicht. 🤷
My mother-in-law just called me and asked if she should invest in the "new Bitcoin". She saw a video on FB where a famous Czech actor praised it on a talk show. Clearly a deepfake scam.
And she would definitely do it if she didn't have me. Some time ago I defended ad blockers as tools of online security and this is a real-life example that it's really the case.
Until Google, Meta and others get their act together, their ads should be blocked.
I don't use an #AdBlocker. I haven't used an ad blocker in a decade or more. I see plenty of ads on the web. What I do is block third-party #cookies and known cross-site #trackers. The number of sites (even apparently legitimate sites) that implore me to disable my ad blocker is disappointing.
> Please verify you are a human without any Ad Blockers turned on.
#Captcha dialogs that don't work unless you turn off your #adblocker .. of course you might allow the specific #tracker that makes the captcha functional, but not always clear which one to pick.
Wie ist denn der aktuelle Stand #youtube vs #adblocker
Geht das immer noch hin und her?
Ein Bekannter meinte, sein YouTube Abo liefe jetzt über Südamerika dann sei das bezahlbar… damit könnte ich mich auch mal beschäftigen… Lohnt sich vielleicht über die Zeit
Der Webbrowser Firefox lässt sich durch AddOns erweitern und verbessern. In diesem Video stelle ich Dir meine persönlichen Lieblings Firefox AddOns vor und erkläre Dir, wie Du sie installieren kannst.
Online-Tools zur Messung der Wirksamkeit von Ad-Blockern sind leider wenig praxistauglich und liefern in Kombination mit Browser-Add-ons oft irreführende Ergebnisse. Am besten verzichtet man auf sie und verlinkt sie auch nicht, da gerade Anfänger/Einsteiger davon irritiert werden könnten. Empfehlt stattdessen die Installation von uBlock Origin und anderen zuverlässigen Ad-Block-Lösungen. 👇
I still have an account on F***book as I still have many friends there who have not taken my strong hints to come here.
I've been using an #adblocker lately with #Firefox to view most things. After I get a few pages down the page freaks-the-F out. It tries to deliver ads - the adblocker removes them - then the page tries to load ads, and the blocker removes them. Ping-pong.
This causes the page to jump-jump-jump making it impossible to read. That's my clue to shut down #Facebook for the day.
»Die umfassende Überwachungsmaschinerie, die für digitale Werbung entwickelt wurde, ermöglicht nun direkt die Massenüberwachung durch den Staat« [1] Zitat von @wchr.
Daher: Ein Tracking- und Werbeblocker gehört auf jedem Smartphone/PC/Netzwerk zur Grundausstattung! [2] 👇
Our first recommendation for someone who wants to be better protected online is easy: switch to a #privacy-friendly #browser!
Using Vivaldi? We take your privacy seriously:
Our built-in Tracker and #AdBlocker lets you block invasive trackers, the biggest sources of #surveillance out there. You can set different blocking levels for different websites.
Cookie dialogs can be confusing. Enable the option ‘Remove cookie warnings’, to avoid the risk of unwillingly giving sites permission to create behavioral profiles about you.
Search Suggestions are disabled by default, so that your search engine doesn’t see what you type on your address and search field.
Go to Settings > Privacy and Security to check all the privacy-related settings. 🔒
If only I was active on #Reddit, this would be amazing for r/MissingThePoint, while using a #VPN#AdBlocker to read an article about VPN #Ad Blockers and this popped up. I took the continue without disabling option because honestly at this point it's harder to jump through the hoops to get unfiltered Internet on my untrusted phone so I'd have just not read the article otherwise 🤷♂️
Thank you for at least giving us the skip option #AndroidPolice
Save hundreds of hours a year in skipped ads & banners using #firefox and an #adblocker. Not to mention the mental burden due to frequent cognitive switch.
Guten Morgen. Wer sie noch nicht kennt, sollte unbedingt einen Blick in die Empfehlungsecke werfen. Diese enthält meine aktuellen Empfehlungen zu verschiedenen Themen wie Messenger, Werbeblocker, werbefreies YouTube, Passwort-Manager, Suchmaschinen und Co. 👇
peertube while it still needs work, atleast the content library is getting better.
When I was using it back in october there was content but not to the extent of what's on their now. It's almost identical to the early 2010s of the type of content you can find. Just emptier comment sections.
No #ads , and no #adblocker pop-up blockers. it's great. It's also great the type of content that can be found on there if you do more specific searches like for idk.. Sonic, Sanic, Flandre scarlet, touhou, Pokemon, Naruto, Mario and even Minecraft might return something these days on Peertube.
however they are still lacking on modern stuff, particularly the kind to draw interest from #tiktokers . Or you're modern day #YouTuber or twitch user.
Creators, get to work. Pick a Peertube server and get your content on peertube .
The first extension you probably want is the #uBlock Origin #adblocker. Yes, it blocks almost every ad, but it also blocks the data collection attempts realted to those ads, which is as important.
Adblocking is particularly important right now as the web undergoes an enshittification cycle driven by the exposure of Google and Meta. They've stopped pretending to be not evil, the squeeze is on.
