This has been all over Finnish news lately and my boomer relatives are going apopleptic about it. There is a huge surge of immigrants through the Eastern border currently, and I think the part where Russia comes in is that Russia is supposedly fast-tracking all immigrants that arrive within its borders visas and sending them to the Finnish border
You only had to do that once? In the initial phase I just couldn't get rid of the pop-ups for longer than one session
I started getting the dreaded anti-adblock pop-ups on Youtube when they started ramping up their efforts a month or so back, and I initially went through the whole rigamarole: First it was just the pop-up, then it was the pop-up with the timer, then the 3-video countdown finally leading to the video player being disabled outright.
Throughout all of this I did the recommended Purging All Caches -> Update Now routine on the Ublock Dashboard at least once a day to keep the pop-ups away, but when it got to the player getting blocked it didn't seem to work anymore. Since I'm on Firefox, I experimented using Containers and found that I could just log in to my YT account on a different container to keep using Youtube until that container started getting blocked.
In the past few weeks I've noticed no issues though apart from having the video player blocked once, which was fixed by purging all caches and updating and I almost forgot about the whole anti-adblock thing altogether. It does seem like YT pages are loading slightly slower than they used to though.
Are you still having issues with Ublock on Youtube or were you even affected at all?
What was the last time?
They also prohibited a demonstration by the progressive Jewish group Jüdische Stimme.
Explaining their reasoning on the Jüdische Stimme protest, the police told The New York Times that the demonstration was “explicitly open to participants of Palestinian origin,” and said organizers coordinated with protesters whose demonstrations were banned over concerns about antisemitic incitement.

A few months later: Somehow, the Web Integrity API has returned
Let's not forget the MO Discs from Resident Evil and MGS
I'm assuming this will escalate to some insanely locked down DRM scheme. Guess I'll enjoy uBlock, ReVanced and yt-dlp while I can
It really annoys me when I see people on bicycles or e-scooters just browsing Twitter or whatever on their phones. At least people looking at their phones in cars have a steel box around them to protect them from their stupidity
I keep expecting blurry images of protestors or human shaped blobs huddling behind cover with some kind of crosshair over them
PLEASE CLICK ON ALL SQUARES WITH ENEMY COMBATANTS TARGETS PERSONS
I had it pretty bad for several days, having to purge the cache several times but I saw no pop-ups yesterday or the day before that. Hoping that's still the case today
Oh, definitely but it's shockingly bad when using YT without logging in
Yeah, as good as Youtube's algorithms are at pushing hardcore right-wing content on completely fresh accounts in like 3 clicks, my accounts have been around for so long that my recommends tend to be on the money most of the time.
I discover multiple new channels each month from my recommends whereas 10 years ago I'd occasionally check a channel that a friend recommended or was embedded on a forum post
They're just being dicks considering how tiny the Firefox userbase is
I fully expect to have to be fingeprinted, DNA tested and retinal scanned to access cOnTenT in a year or two
Yup, I'm pretty sure tons of liberals believe this completely uncritically and don't even think about it
These guys sound awful but if they gotta harrass somebody I at least hope it's Evangelical tourists
Not sure how things are in Austria but where I live fast food is really expensive for someone strapped for cash
Apparently American Reddit has been plastered with ads from a billion-dollar Evangelical Christian campaign for months and Jewish, LGBT amd atheist users have been especially targeted
Religion and Politics were categories you could not opt out of
Why is there no seekbar and why can you only pause?
Why does scrolling up or down on the mouse wheel bring up another video?
Why is it siloed off into its own thing anyway? They're just short videos.

When I want to type a special non-English character like Ø, on my Android phone I simply long press on "o" on the keyboard and it brings up every variation of the letter o you could think of.
On Windows, the best you get is "please memorise this giant list of four number codes". If I'm going to have to google the code I'm probably just going to copy the letter and paste it into whatever I'm writing.
Why not add them to the damn emoji menu (Windows key + .)
Can't wait until Google flips them on globally for all users !doomer
