Habt das Verhalten von #Qwant 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 #AdBlock hat oder nen gehärteten #FireFox?

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).

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

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

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 😄

Here is an update about slow downs. It was not YouTube’s fault it was certain AdBlockers if you used you were not affected. It was a bug in AdBlock Plus and related extensions with their conversion to the new requirements to update extensions to the latest standard that Google is forcing. They introduced a bug 🐞 which caused this issue.

I wonder if this is more impactful to Chrome/Chromium based browsers? This is probably a good reason for me to start utilizing some of the Fediverse video streaming platforms

This is the top list of domains blocked by ControlD on my Amazon FireTV.

At the top of the list: logs.netflix.com

Plot twist: I do NOT have a #Netflix subscription 🙄

Also: the TV is off and this means that FireTV never turns off (very energy efficient, wow!)

What the hell is it trying to communicate?

Since I use Invidious most of the time, I finally got that dreaded “Ad block is not allowed on Youtube." message.

Nope, not disabling adblock, I will continue to use my Invidious server I have.:sylveonsmug:
