  • if google cared, they’d vet ads and ad links, and guarantee their safety and security.

    if google cared, they’d put a stop to seo ‘optimizers’ and scammers scoring top positions on serps.

    but google doesn’t care about anything other than their profits and share price.

    adblockers can affect both of those. they’re using the weak cover of ‘security’ enhancement to neuter them.

    existing adblockers provide more safety and security than what can be realized by the shift to mv3.



  • i did read somewhere that affected chrome users are being presented with alternatives from the chrome extension ‘store’ that are mv3-ready.

    whether or not they’re capable of clicking the right buttons on the right screens and windows to do it is another story.

    ubo, abp and adguard all have mv3 variants. there are others, but i think those are the ‘big three’. ublock origin lite is what i’ve been moving people to here, if not to firefox. so far, so good.






  • i thought i was the only one. i use one occasionally to keep downloads (ahem, updates) or streaming from sucking the internet connection dry… so i have some left for more important things, like doom scrolling and games. other times (or when the hub’s being used elsewhere) i just manually configure the os (in windows, ‘speed and duplex’ via device manager) to use a slower connection on the lan port. either method comes in handy here where the internet speeds range from “kinda sucks” to “at least it’s faster than dialup”
