Opera GX + uBlock + ABP. I stopped seeing this shit a long time ago. (Opera de-googles where necessary, and has its own store. You can still install from other chrome stores, if something is not available in theirs)
Frankly though, Alphabet needs to start being made accountable for their own "de-privacy" behaviour, in the name of their own profits.
And on a side note, is it just me or did 404media just came out of nowhere, and is spamming "news" posts. I've read a few of them, and they seem more like opinion pieces, and less factual. They really seem to have little supporting evidence, proper content (the meat, proof, details) and the complete post content is paywalled.
Defederated world, can we please prioritise non-paywalled sites over monetised ones?
Why uBlock + ABP though? Isn't uBlock alone enough? And why not Firefox instead of Opera as it's also based on Chromium?
Iirc adblock plus has been known to get bribed to allow certain ads through. I'm struggling to remember the details, but there was some controversy with them a while back. If you have ublock you don't also need ABP, just update your filters on those sites that ublock "doesn't work" on
Is there any real free alternative? And I mean free refered to freedom, I know PeerTube exists but finding a good/known instance to upload content knowing that the instance won't go down is hard.
EDIT: I found maker.tube and hardlimit, the first one looks promising.
Nebula, maybe? Many of my breadtube creators tell me to see their expanded content there.
