It feels like you are missing the point on purpose. I don’t know why, this feels like laziness.

Criticizing the existence of billionaires and being antiwork are two different things. And being antiwork is different than wanting to do nothing. No one wants to do nothing, except in cases of major depressions.

A lot of antiwork post can lack depth but there are really interesting criticism to be made about work as it’s organized these days. I suggest you dig the subject.

Depends on the country you’re in.

I can’t, I forgot most of it. But a little search returned some results:

But it’s also true that sometimes it’s not done with a pro-piracy stance but they would just rather have it pirated than bought through key-resellers as these can hurt indy-game dev a lot.

You are conflating the two meanings of free. Pirated software does not improve your freedom and open source is not necessarily free.

That being said I’ve seen a few indie game studios making pro-piracy statements or even putting the game on torrent networks themselves. But these are the one that deserve the most to be paid.

I don’t think it’s the same source code (uBOL vs uBO). And it’s definitely not the same logic, that’s the whole point, blocking with MV3 must be done in a declarative way.

They do kill uBlock Origin. The Lite version is a different extension.

Yes but that’s not the same. Because of Chrome limitation it can’t update it’s blocklist directly. You have to update the whole extension to update the blocklist and that goes through Google validation in the Chrome store. It adds delay and Google could even refuse some updates. The blocklist is also shorter because not all filter rules are supported.

• Privacy Badger stopped using heuristic 4 years ago because it could be used to fingerprint you.

• Cookie autodelete simply does not work with Firefox’s Total Cookie Protection, which is enabled by default.

As of Firefox 86, strict mode is not supported at this time due to missing APIs to handle the Total Cookie Protection. Also as of Firefox 103, standard mode has also enabled Total Cookie Protection. Use ‘strict’ mode if using pre-86, use standard mode for versions 86-102, or from version 103+ use the custom configuration and set cookie to ‘cross site tracking cookies’ option (not the cross-site cookies).

You don’t even need an extension to automatically delete cookies, just enable privacy.sanitize.sanitizeOnShutdown and privacy.clearOnShutdown_v2.cookiesAndStorage. To add an exception: Ctrl+I>Permissions>Cookies>Allow.

Check Arkenfox’s extension page and the section about sanitizing on shutdown.

Wow, you are really confused. The argument about the functionality being already implemented by Firefox was about https everywhere. This has nothing to do with adblocking and it does break some sites (the one still not using https) but you can still access them with a click.

Cookie autodelete is useless if you use Firefox on strict mode.

I don’t understand your edit, how is more things doing the same thing better? It adds complexity, attack surface while taking resources.

Privacy Badger is useless with uBlock Origin and cookie autodelete is useless with Firefox in strict mode.

What’s the replace widget feature?

Decentralise and adblockplus do nothing uBlock Origin doesn’t already do. You can remove them. Also it’s uBlock Origin, not just uBlock.

Well, first of all you really should not be using Windows 7 anymore. For the TPB, I don’t think they check the torrents, anyone can upload so it’s not a trusted source. It’s in the unsafe sites list on the megathread. And how would you know that you never had a malware on the TPB?

From what I gathered Amazon is the only one that includes an identifier. Look for a string starting with “atv:kin”.

The DeDRM fork removes it: https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools/blob/bf2471e65b1f52bb5292caeba70a9aea31bf6653/DeDRM_plugin/mobidedrm.py#L254

Some have an interview process in place (notably redacted). Once you get in a first one (either through interview, open signup or any other way) you can start climbing the ranks, at some point you should have access to an invite section on the tracker forum where you can find invites to other trackers (not all trackers have an invite forum and they don’t have access to the same invites).

This, of course, can only tell you if an apk is malicious, it cannot tell you if it is not malicious.

A lot of mail providers support sub-addressing, you don’t have to use gmail. Some use different characters for it though.

Seems really fishy.

Quite a few trackers: https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.hsv.freeadblockerbrowser/latest/

And so many red flags like a free VPN (so they route all your traffic), “powered with AI technology” (what for?), not open source…

A browser is a very sensitive piece of software, you trust it with a lot of personal data. Don’t use a random one like this one.
