Yes, that happens when I click affiliate links. Blank page and then I go back.

I stopped using adblockers and simply set the entire operating system to use Mullvad's DNS over HTTPS/TLS, specifically the adblock.dns.mullvad.net option. It doesn't have all the other uBlock features, but all ads are blocked in all browsers.

That's why the phrase "to my knowledge" is useful. I can say any kind of thing as long as I add 'to my knowledge' to get rid of the responsibility.

I checked it. I used the adblock.dns.mullvad.net option and adblocking works fine on all browsers without using adblock extensions. The checker on Mullvad's website shows the DNS info as it should. I think maybe there's no need for Firefox DNSoH settings anymore because the whole OS uses Mullvad DNS now. But I don't know enough about DNS to be sure.

 

I used Mullvad's guide to change the DNS in Linux Mint and it worked. But I have a question about Firefox's DNS over HTTPS settings. Can I turn it to off now that the whole operating system uses the Mullvad DNS?

If you install Freetube you'll be able to view Youtube and subscribe to channels without using an account.

Try Freetube, it still works well, even with videos that are age limited.

Oh god, what did they do? Do they show ads on the gui?

It could be a childish insult and internally he's thinking "oh boy, I showed her!"

Is this also true about the cloudflare DNS over HTTPS option that Firefox provides in the privacy settings? If yes, then would it help if I changed the setting from 'Cloudflare' to 'NextDNS'?

[–] intro@programming.dev 20 points 5 months ago

Oh yes, do not do that! I certainly didn't do it. And I'm gonna not do it again if I need to.

I use a file browser that also plays audio and video: Total Commander

It "remembers" recent playlist and play point of the file, as long as I don't click the red 'X' in the controls.

It's not on F-droid, but it's possible to add its repository to F-droid.
