I built this

I built this

I built a lightweight Chrome ad blocker that works fully offline.

No tracking, no data collection, just simple ad blocking.

I mainly made it because most extensions felt heavy or suspicious.

Would love honest feedback from you guys 🙌

If anyone wants to try it, I’ll drop the link in comments.

Created a stealthy adblock for youtube has been working for past month.

The extension works try it out you may get 0-2 ads every 2 hours or so but should be undetectable for now.

iOS ad-free YouTube app that supports hold down for 2x speed and double tap to rewind/forward?

I am desperate to find an app on iOS/iPhone that seamlessly supports hold down for 2x speed and double tap to rewind and forward on YouTube without ads. I use these features all the time and can’t find an app with ad-free YouTube that has these features running smoothly.

I’ve tried these alternatives:

Brave Browser: doesn’t support 2x speed in landscape mode

Tube PiP: pauses a bit when pressing and releasing to enable/disable 2x speed and it’s driving me crazy

I don’t mind paying small lifetime subscription fees if they’re required to access these features.

Is it okay to use Brave Shields AND Adguard at the same time?

Is it okay to use Brave Shields AND Adguard at the same time?

TLDR: Should I use both of time at the same time or should I just stick to one since they might clash?

I use Brave which has its built-in adblocker. I'm guessing it uses the same default blocklists which Ublock Origin uses.

I also use Adguard (the mobile and desktop apps), which has DNS filtering as well as cosmetic filtering and has a lot of blocklists available. Why not just stick to Brave Shields? I get system wide blocking from Adguard.

Is it okay to have them both at the same time or should I turn off Brave Shields?

do i really have to ditch chrome to get an adblocker?

hi!

I got a really nice laptop for the first time and i want to take care of it and a pleasant user experience.

I know jack shit about computers and networks though, so trying to find a user friendly ad blocker has been a little tough.

The main issue arising is that i am an avid chrome user and it seems most ad blockers don't work for chrome without some work around

So is it time i become a woman and switch to Firefox? will that allow me the power of ad blocking?

Id also appreciate any recommendations for user friendly/for dummies ad blockers
