Does the chrome or edge version work with ddg browser, because I just had my eyes criminally sexually assaulted by a link I clicked to read a story. Idk if the story is untrue or not but honestly, if I want to see porn, I know how to access it.
@TwodpadsDown yes, and FB is a dumpster fire. A huge reddit exodus had hoped to find a more pleasant experience than Reddit; and Reddit was infinitely less toxic than FB. Yes I get blocking, but that isn't the point. @zuck doesn't have to poison every well with toxicity he pretends doesn't exist, "they trust me for some reason, dumb f . ' But poison every well he will bc 'greed is good,' and who cares what lives are sacrificed for it.
Don’t worry, the little gremlin is alive and well. But when #Ammit pays a visit you have to follow tradition. The little gremlin never has a problem passing the test, not only his heart but all of him is lighter than a feather 😉
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don't get much from my choices. It still did a pretty good job of showing me stuff I was interested in watching.
Then on Oct 1, they threw up a "You're using an Ad Blocker" overlay on videos. I'd use my trusty Overlay Remover plugin to remove the annoying javascript graphic and watch what I wanted. I didn't have to click the X to dismiss the obnoxious page.
Last week, they started placing a timer with the X so you had to wait 5 seconds for the X to appear so you could dismiss blocking graphic.
Today, there was a new graphic. It allowed you to view three videos before you had to turn off your Ad Blocker. I viewed a video 3 times just to see what happens.
Now all I see is this page.
Google has out and out made it a violation of their ToS to have an ad blocker to view Youtube. Or you can pay them $$$.
I ban such sites from my systems by replacing their DNS name in my hosts file routed to 127.0.0.1 which means I can't view the site. I have quite a few banned sites now.
