Poor lion browser has been trying hard but Youtube keeps getting the best of it every time...
As of two days ago, Brave is yet again unable to block ads.
Is it over for Brave?

It's a matter of principle at this point. It's not like the people actually making content ever get a decent cut.

Every once in a while I get a single warning from youtube about adblockers being banned, but brave has yet to let an ad slip by on Youtube. I have no idea what you're talking about

>>106778961
yes ublock works but you can use it without brave, this thread is about brave failing to block ads

But guys... I have Brave, I have uBlock, and STILL get the damn ads on YouTube. What the hell is going on?? Is uBlock on suicide watch as well?
>>
>>106778918
dont know what this retard is talking about, im on latest brave version and im watching youtube right now with 0 ads

get shrekt

Brave has blocked ads perfectly on my machine lol

ah
blessed me bc idc abt superficial stuff i guess
isnt there some skin or plugin that could fix that for you?
https://userstyles.org/styles/browse?search_terms=brave
>>
>>106779988
Thing is on ios every browser is cucked and has to use webkit for engine, so none of the normal browser plugins work on ios, otherwise i could just install firefox, ublock orgin and customize it like people can on android.
>>
>>106780033
this sucks.
i fixed alol my smartphone related issues by gving my sf to my pops several years ago already
im rocking a samsung dumbphone currently (and i leave it at home 99% of the time)

This thread proves that /g/ is a gaymer consoomer board and not a technology board. All these people willingly sharing their browsing history with palantir just for a preinstalled adblocker is insane.
>>
>>106780033
btw
using ublock kinda sucks and will always do
its the biggest adblock so everyone's efforts are on it
and thats why it breaks every couple weeks while braves adblock works flawlessly since years now
and i heard firetrany really went down the shitter recently
that is, if the regular complaints here on g are to be believed

youre a mental fucking retard if you think that
a)info isnt derived from your search history, directly from the dns
b)that using an ungoogled phone changes anything when you use google serveices, like youtube
c) that fierefox is somehow unpozzed. picrel
d) that brave is more pozzed than the competition
e) that the infrastructure itself isnt snitching on you

Honestly you guys should try out GNU Icecat these days. Mozilla telemetry compiled out with good bundled addons. You can stop that annoying JS thing. Icecat legitimately feels much lighter and snappier that other browsers, besides maybe Safari on an Apple device.
>>
>>106780144
It's really sad. I feel like Mozilla has the potential to make really great products but are gimped corpos and trannies.
>>
>>106780158
ill remember that name
but i wont be trying it out immediately
i leave a completely incomprehensible internet footprint- youtube doesnt even know what languages i speak (keeps showing me random shit, fishing for hits. needless to say i deliberately "watch" videos in languages i dont speak to keep google guessing)
>>
>>106780186
you are speaking english here with google's recaptcha actively looking

its the case of more or less everybody.
a while ago linux foundation spending only 2% of their budget on kernel development was a big story

the only solution for us is to make money and build something ourselves
eyah, their greed and incompetence gives us a massive advantage.
dont let them bring you down anon, enshittification is tolerated and even promoted as an attritionary social engineering tactic
something something creating friction one cannot avoid to induce learned helplessness
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Learned_helplessness

like i said, look at the silver lining:
theyre motherfucking retarded.
the corpos are bloated as fuck and barely able to move
they realistically cant compete and thats why exactly why they deploy attritionary tactics
not only in tech, this is pervasive throughout all aspects of ones life
>>
>>106780212
its the lingua franca
everyone speaks english, they dont have much on me
actually they have nothing
in the past year ive watched guns, animals, cooking, history, chemistry, linguistics, maths, engineering, politics, in several languages
the profile cant pin me down because every two weeks i start acting like a completely different person
and even gender
i dont think many men have bouts of compulsive animal-shit watching
>>

>the profile cant pin
the *algo cant pin me down...
>>
>>106780252
>and even gender
>i dont think many men have bouts of compulsive animal-shit watching
but i dont watch brainrot or babyshit.
thats how one could discern im actually a man. (i know a thing or two about profiling)
but im not sure the algo is that refined
esp considering the amount of data they have to parse
the deeper one wants to go the more expensive things become
and the rational thing is to ignore the last 5% of users if decyphering them would double the computational cost
also bc attritionary tactics and many end up just submitting and going with the flow, rendering ther uniqueness- moot
>>
>>106778918
Not only brave, i noticed its also ublock recently. Either shows ads or preventing normal site from working properly so i have to disable it.

Based sir. first time I found someone on /g/ who's not a complete tool. also dont forget about (((server sided tracking))), which is ip tracking (JA3/JA4) with site session event tracking. all done on the server, 0 ways for you to block that (other than vpn for ip tracking). And if you ever leave a gap in your opsec and visit a different site with ads/tracking, it will 99% automatically match your current user ID with the previous ones from different sites.

it do be like that
thats why i dont bother with privacy browsers too much
rather i try not to leave too much of a trace on the web and muddy the waters

It's not about principle
it's just easier and you're given more options for how you want to consume media. The alternative is probably some bullshit app that doesn't work half the time

Zoomers are what's wrong with tech. It's attitudes like this that guarantee perpetual subjugation.

>>106782408
I dont think one generation is responsible, they all equally contribute to the tech decline. Boomers are just as mind fucked by their smart phones as zoomers are, but it's like 10x worse because these people grew up in a low tech environment and should have some sense of reality since they've already lived it for decades but they're more than happy to get mind fucked by algorithms and AI spam. At least zoomers have the excuse that their garbage parents put a smartphone up their ass as soon as they dropped out their mothers cunts. They had their agency stolen everyone else chose to just give it up which is much worse

at this point just buy a burner smartphone and prepaid plan with cash lol

For iOS and OSX, I just use Wipr 2 and watch through Safari. For mobile, I also use the pipifier Safari extension if I want a pip window while I do other stuff on the phone.

This thread was about to die.
You brought it back to life.
Why?
>>
>>106778918
Blocking first-party ads is a lost endeavor. At that point, it's better to whitelist the content you want than to constantly play cat-and-mouse trying to blacklist every ad that YouTube throws at you. Maybe it could be done if you had a community system like SponsorBlock, but that would be hard to implement and moderate, and if any browser did that then Google would likely block them and force them out of every market.
