UnTrap for YouTube bugged?

It seems to change the whole background from white to black making text unreadable, am I the only one? (Ignore my feed) submitted by /u/Lenny7B [link] [comments]

Adguard CLI for Linux help

Installed the CLI accordingly on my Fedora workstation setup, activated license, even got as far as to adding dns and filtering lists I wanted, selected them with the “X”.

With HTTP and SOCKS5 on default IPs, now my problem is; the PROXY mode on manual renders both my systemwide filtering and system wide DNS filtering DISABLED. (As shown when the “status” command is used)

With PROXY mode on auto, both systemwide filtering modes are ENABLED, however my internet is now completely broken, cannot load anything. Obviously, I need to have these two modes on Enabled for Adguard to be of any use, so what am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

With more and more sites serving markdown to AI bots, I figure why not just use it ourselves?

No ads, no tracking JS, no cookie banners, no upsell models, no nothing. Just the actual content you want, made possible by the fact that sites are happy to serve you bloated webpages riddled with crap but will give a bot exactly what they want

I've built a little proof of concept (Firefox only) but I don't see any reason why this isn't something adblockers could start adding?

What is going on with YouTube ads in Brave?

Hi guys, youtube ads randomly started showing up in Brave today, even though I didnt change anything in my settings. Shields used to blck everything fine, but now I get ads at the start of every video. btw, I updated Shields and tried aggressive filtering, but nothing changed. Same thing is happening on both mac and windows... i installed uBlock Origin which helps a bit, but it still doesnt fully fix the issue. did youtube change something today, and Brave is having issues?

Also, I tried posting this in the Brave subreddit first, but Reddit filters blocks my post for some reason i ignore. That is why I am asking here.

What if Firefox wont allow uBlockOrigin anymore?

As we non-normies know, uBlockOrigin and Firefox is the best combo as of now to block ads. However, what if one day this starts to fail too? - Is there a backup plan? I feel uneasy having only one browser and one adbock-addon left where I feel truly able to have an adfree internet experience. The sharks at the big companies will realize this too and squash our last bastion of freedom. What do you guys think?

StreamBlock (Open Source) – Looking for Feedback

I've been working on an open-source browser extension called StreamBlock.

The original goal was solving a problem I kept running into on Twitch: most ad blockers either stop working or replace ads with a black screen while you wait for the stream to return.

StreamBlock uses a different approach. During Twitch ad breaks, it switches to an ad-free backup stream and automatically returns to the main stream when the ad break ends, so you can keep watching instead of staring at a black screen.

Current features:

• Twitch ad blocking
• YouTube ad blocking
• Tracker blocking
• Open source
• Free to use
• No account required

The project is still in beta, and I'm mainly looking for feedback from people who use Twitch and YouTube regularly.

GitHub (source code):
https://github.com/numixtheofficial/streamblock.online-chrome-extension

Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/streamblock/dfjgehcmajlgpkmjlmacaookmjlhgiag

Website:
https://streamblock.online/

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

• Reliability
• Performance (CPU/RAM usage)
• Twitch compatibility
• Conflicts with other extensions
• Bugs and edge cases

Happy to answer any technical questions.

For some reason I'm still using adblock plus (adblock browser on android) alongside firefox with ublock origin

A few hours ago if I go to a fandom/wikia page, there are 100% no ads, but now there are ads as if there is no adblocker there. On firefox with ublock origin as redditors said, there are 1000% no ads at all. What does this mean???
