Removal of piracy communities
  • So you say something like twitter is free to host child porn and they can just say "We did not post it, we just make it available"?

    PSA: the largest piracy community is blocked from lemmy.world
  • Checked the stickied post and it is full with links to various piracy sites. This is like when trackers use "We are not sharing files, just links" defense.

    The Adblockalypse is coming
  • There have been quite a few questionable decisions by Mozilla though, they have focused on some very weird things, not to mention scandals about management salaries (No idea how it is now). I really really hope they will not follow suite which honestly is not as far fetched as one could think.

    The Adblockalypse is coming
  • Why? It does everything a non-techie would expect from browser and it performs well, why switch to something else?

    That said I think Chrome is a terrible Chromium based browser. Edge and Vivaldi in my opinion are much better options. Edge for most folk and Vivaldi for more adventurous types.

    The Adblockalypse is coming
  • There is no way anything like this would ever go through. Google's own lawyers would quickly put a stop at this. It is known that Google sometimes has used features that for Firefox is problematic at least for YouTube, but it eventually is resolved by changes in FF

    The Adblockalypse is coming
  • This was also the best alternative I could find that seemed somewhat safe to use. Chromium browsers still are better at translate, but this seemed fine for my use case

    Firefox is the only way.
  • Same here. I used NoScript in the past and remembering whitelisting way too often so dumped it in the end. Now I just use uBlock with I think some built-in javascript block of known bad hosts.

    Music labels sue Internet Archive over digitized record collection.
  • I am actually surprised Internet Archive has not had copyright problems in the past because I have ocasionally downloaded videos that are 1:1 contents from now dead/unseeded torrents.

    What's the best app for Youtube right now?
  • As of now, Revanced manager recommends v 18.23.35.

    ApkMirror is arguably the best source to download APKs. It checks that signature matches expected one so you know package is safe and not tampered with. You need to use no DPI version for Revanced, linked correct version above

    I would suggest to also go through all patches manually, I remember recommended option had some very strange suggestions at least in the past.

    For Google account to work you also need microG. This is a newer version / fork of original microG. inotia00 was one of the original Vanced devs I believe.
