Google’s anti-ad scripts are breaking browsers and privacy plugins. It could get worse because Google controls the ad market, Chrome, and the extension store.
The only different thing about grayjay is the polycentric account instead of having your YouTube account other than that all the features are the same or even better. What is there not to understand.
So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the “x” and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the “Report issue” only for the dialogue box not to work....
Go to watch wannacry, there was no exe to open, it only needed unpatched “ameliorated” windows so yes, ransomware can appear out of thin air once an exploit is found.
That is just completely wrong, wannacry spreads through LAN to other computers by using an exploit called EternalBlue, it utilized Server Message Block v1 or SMB v1, a feature of Windows for the use of setting up device communication within a network.
The ransomware doesn’t just pop into any computer, it has to still drop in as a payload, an executable into the intial computer most likely through phishing emails.
The reason why I don’t care as much because I wipe my windows install every 2-3 months, which then proceeds into installing the latest version. Sooo yea.
Youtube let the other shoe drop in their end-stage enshittification this week. Last month, they required you to turn on Youtube History to view the feed of youtube videos recommendations. That seems reasonable, so I did it. But I delete my history every 1 week instead of every 3 months. So they don’t get much from my choices....
I did, I used uBlock with Firefox for around 3 years by now, and just recently YouTube completely blocked uBlock, I tried many different filters and YouTube still managed to block it.
I remember when Proton launched it was like magic playing games like Doom and Nier Automata straight from the Linux Steam client with excellent performance. I do not miss the days of having the Windows version of Steam installed separately.
I have to stick to windows only because of VR, once performance and UX improves I will nuke windows out of my PC but I still absolutely love linux, been hopping around distros like a madman almost 2 years ago until I settled on arch, couldn’t leave the damn thing.

Any idea what Google are doing? Is this because I dont use Chrome (use Firefox)? I've no adblockers. (lemmy.world)

Windows: we noticed that you kept the useless search bar disabled since 2015, so we sent an update that re-enabled it without your permission (feddit.it)
For my “convenience” and because in this way they can show ads and clickbait...
