ravhall , in Michigan man accused of fatally shooting his neighbor following argument over mulch

Hey, don’t touch mulch or you’ll be shot. Kinda like don’t get out of the car to yell at someone who hit your car with a plastic bottle or you might be beaten to a pulp. Victims gotta realize it’s their fault, because society made the bad guy. 🙄🙄🙄🙄/s

ravhall , in Tim Hortons criticized for looking abroad to staff Ontario cafes

Hey, homeless people in the USA will work for cheap. Blame your own country! ;)

The same type of right-winger as JKR and EM now are used to accuse the Williams sisters of being men. The same type of right-winger JKR and EM now are used to accuse Michelle Obama of being a man.

Strange how its mostly always women of colour who have these utterly baseless accusations leveled at them by right-wingers like JKR and EM. And when I say ‘strange’ I mean its not strange at all and is deliberate.

chatokun ,

Used to? Some of them don’t know how to stop. Alex Jones jumped violently on this train, and h3, his crew, and Rodger Stone were up until Kamala became the forerunner claiming either Hillary or “big Mike” would replace Biden. Then would diverge into making more terrible jokes about Michelle Obama for a while before getting back to the point.

Switching back to Firefox in the next few weeks. Fuck you google

What did the fact checker bot ever do to you?

Fact checker bot is BS. It should be banned.

Just block it and you won’t have to see it any more.

NateNate60 ,

I wonder why you hate the fact-checkers.

friend_of_satan , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

I’d just like to reassure everybody that you can quit using Google Chrome. I switched to Firefox a year ago. You can switch to something else too. Give it a try.

Wait, I don’t need to nudge anybody. After all the ads start invading their browsing experience I doubt anybody will need much prodding.

echo ,

Yep… when ublock quits working for me on Chrome then I will migrate.

Maestro ,

Why wait? Migrate now. There's even Firefox for mobile with ublock

chazwhiz ,
@chazwhiz@lemmy.world avatar

There is?

arin ,

Yes my main mobile browser

TachyonTele ,

Same here. Haven’t seen an ad in I don’t know how long.

chazwhiz ,
@chazwhiz@lemmy.world avatar

That doesn’t really answer my question. How does one get ublock origin on mobile?

RampageDon ,

You use Firefox as your mobile browser

ArgentRaven ,

And to add to that, set all your programs and links to open in Firefox by default, instead of the YouTube app, etc. then you’re blocking ads just like a desktop on every site you visit.

catloaf ,

Same as on desktop. You go to the Mozilla extension site or the author’s site and click add.

JohnSwanFromTheLough ,

There’s an extensions menu in the firefox app, uBlock is listed as one of the recommend ones, all you have to do is click the plus sign to add it.

Maestro ,

Yes. You can install extensions on firefox mobile just like you can on the desktop version. IIRC it's the only mobile browser that does this.

pennomi ,

Only on Firefox Android.

As far as I know, Safari is the only browser with Adblock on iOS.

harsh3466 ,

This is true, however, Firefox focus has a built in blocker that’s pretty good, and the Orion browser for iOS actually supports Firefox extensions (even though it’s built on top of safari), and is also pretty good. I run bothe Firefox focus and Orion with ublock on my iOS devices.

H4mi ,

I use Firefox Focus on iOS. It blocks quite a bit without addons.

mp3 ,
@mp3@lemmy.ca avatar

On Android, Firefox for iOS doesn’t have addons because Apple.

ShepherdPie ,

Firefox mobile allows you to install extensions just like a PC version of the browser.

strawberry ,

low key that's why I switched. ads on mobile are so incredibly intrusive

Steve ,

Yup

_bcron ,

Firefox with NoScript is better than any adblocker I used. It blocks the ‘disable adblocker’ popups alongside ads and most sketchy shit in general

superkret ,

It also blocks everything else on the website.

Makeitstop ,

It’s definitely more of a hassle than most people will want to deal with. But I still prefer to have it and selectively enable things as needed, because quite frankly I’d rather deal with predictable hassles of my own making than be bombarded with new bullshit every day due to ever worsening trends in enshittification.

Makeitstop ,

Why not both?

ShepherdPie ,

Because it can ruin your browsing experience all together. It’d be like installing multiple anti-virus programs on your Windows PC

icosahedron ,

iirc some hardened firefox configs, including arkenfox, recommend using ublock ONLY. other privacy extensions like noscript aren’t worth using because ublock replicates all of their features plus more

Kalkaline ,
@Kalkaline@leminal.space avatar

Firefox reader mode is the champ, especially when combined with uBlock

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I don’t understand the inertia if I’m honest.

Jimmycakes ,

Nobody that cares about seeing ads is still on chrome. I bet they don’t lose more than 8-10% market share in a year even that is probably super high

grue ,

I’ve always used Firefox on every other device I own, but now I need to do something about my Chromebook.

TransplantedSconie , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

Firefox is the bomb.

perviouslyiner ,

It is… revolutionary.

parpol ,

If only there was a librewolf mobile…

DaddleDew ,

Fennec is a pace in the right direction for that

JetpackJackson ,

Mull is the closest

fine_sandy_bottom ,
JohnDClay ,

YouTube isn’t playing on Firefox with Ublock for me either. I’ll need to go through and reinstall my extensions, but I couldn’t find the root cause so far, I’d just been using chrome with ublock for YouTube and Firefox for everything else.

parpol ,

Use a redirect plugin to open all YouTube links in invidious.

On android, GrayJay is the best app for not only YouTube but all video and streaming platforms.

JohnDClay ,

But that wouldn’t have comments or updating recommendations, right?

JohnDClay ,

As for grey jay, I haven’t had time to compile it yet. ReVanced is working well for me.

ogmios ,
@ogmios@sh.itjust.works avatar

Yea, I’m just waiting for the bomb to go off when Mozilla inevitably ends up following Google’s example.

Lemminary ,

Yep, I’m watching intently with the shit they’ve been doing.

madjo , in Liz Truss leaves stage in Beccles as 'lettuce' banner unfurls

I prefer Liv Struss anyway

echo , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

uBlock Origin Lite, which is Manifest V3 compliant but doesn’t boast the original version’s comprehensive ad-blocking features.

Then what is the purpose/value of it?

Quill7513 ,

Its able to block some ads. However, from a security perspective this basically means google chrome is no longer a web browser that should be used in a professional setting, let alone for your private and personal work

Jimmycakes , in Disney wants wrongful death of LI doctor lawsuit tossed over Disney+ streaming terms

Every article about this is so garbage. I’ve read like 10 different ones and I have no idea what she ate at all. One article said she had a nut and dairy allergy but I’m not even sure that’s correct. I need to know what she ordered how Disney lists it on the menu and what the waiter was supposed to do with the dish. If her allergy is bad enough that she died it would need to be a really heavy dose of allergen which I assume she would be able to see?

warbond ,

It’s in this article: “The couple asked the waiter several more times to be absolutely sure the food would be allergen free before Tangsuan ordered a fritter, scallops and onion rings, the lawsuit said.”

CileTheSane ,
@CileTheSane@lemmy.ca avatar

What does any of that have to do with Disney wanting the case dismissed because they had a trial Disney+ account years ago?

No one is asking you to decide who the guilty party is here. The point is how absurd this attempt to get the case dismissed is.

ShepherdPie ,

That’s the nitty gritty of the lawsuit, but these articles are all about how Disney is trying to get the lawsuit thrown out completely not about the lawsuit itself.

Professorozone ,

Just not true. If the allergy is severe enough even a very small dose is enough.

Kethal , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

I used Firefox when it first came out. Google and Mozzila got into a hot race to make the best browser and they both did well. Somehow I ended up using Chrome a lot more even though I thought that by the time the race ended they were pretty even. Both were very fast and had great plugin libraries. Chrome looked nicer out of the box, but Firefox is highly customizable. Since the end of that race, Chrome has gotten worse and Firefox is about the same. I’ve switched back fully to Firefox, and the only thing I miss is the “Piss off publisher frames” plugin, that I haven’t found a replacement for. It’s a nice browser.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

I switched to chrome for several years. Back then I was using Gmail and google docs et cetera. I naively thought Google were the good guys.

At that time the chrome ui was better. As an example, Firefox still had a separate search bar and address bar, although you could search in the address bar if you wished.

More recently I think the “nice ui” thing has tipped back towards Firefox. Chrome seems to have evolved some extra buttons.

Kethal ,

Yeah, it’s ironic that one of Google’s selling points was that Chrome didn’t have a lot of clutter. It’s even where the name comes from. Now it looks messy. It’s no Microsoft product yet, but it’s definitely one of the ways it used to be better.

@jay@mbin.zerojay.com avatar

I would be on Firefox myself except that I need Webassembly that functions at a decent speed and It's about 30-100 times slower on Firefox than it is on Chrome and hasn't changed in yeeeeears.

megabat , in Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads

I would like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that even the United States FBI recommended using ad blocking extensions to protect yourself online.

AmidFuror , in Liz Truss leaves stage in Beccles as 'lettuce' banner unfurls

Sounds like she walked off on her own accord, not due to the recommendations of any security team.

I prefer people who can laugh at themselves in moments like these.
