What is the progress of Servo and Ladybird?

"Quietly™" by posting about it beforehand everywhere they could.

Its become quite a trend with headlines, huh? I guess it implies "we're airing some dirty laundry, come look!" With the hopes of boosting click-throughs.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@thelemmy.club 5 points 21 hours ago

Yeah, I hate it bcs it's just an intentional scam - and since the title is such an easy lie then prob everything is.

Cool.

Still sticking with uBlock and SponsorBlock (skips all the "this video was sponsored by" segments on YouTube).

[–] auntieclokwise@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Though there are a few creators that do such good ad segments that even those are worth watching. Map Men, Aging Wheels, and lazerpig all come to mind.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 2 points 8 hours ago

With lazerpig, it's often hard to tell the difference between the subject matter and the commercial......

[–] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish SponsorBlock and DeArrow were integrated into Invidious, like with Piped.

[–] Purebred0880@lemmy.wtf 3 points 23 hours ago

Freetube has integrated sponsor block (might have to enable it in the settings first). I've generally been very happy with the Freetube flatpak, although there have been times when YouTube actively fought against third parties where Freetube did not work for a month.

[–] laz@pawb.social 30 points 1 day ago

Add DeArrow in there as well (anti-clickbait)

If we are going to eschew open source projects from shitty tech companies, then there’s a pretty long list.

[–] mycodesucks@lemmy.world 4 points 12 hours ago

Everyone has their own line, and I don't begrudge people theirs.

But at the end of the day we all have to function somehow. Nobody's hands are completely clean.

That's cool, take the good part of Brave, leave behind the villainous CEO and dodgy crypto scams

[–] moseschrute@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I used brave for a while. Recently switched to zen browser to try some better tab management. But despite all braves issues, it’s ad/tracker blocking was always very good imo. I think it will be a good addition to Firefox.

a default-disabled prototype

No wonder it didn't show up in normal/enduser release notes.

This article suggests you have to disabled Enhanced Tracking Protection to test it. Does it replace that entire system with an equivalent system?

I'll wait until it's stable and productive.

[–] polle@feddit.org 22 points 1 day ago (9 children)

Why did they not just set ublock as a default installed plugin?
