Technically, I don’t block ads. I block trackers using privacy badger. If they were to just show me ads without trying to track me I’d be fine and they’d get some ad revenue. But they always put trackers in there, I see no ads and they get no money.
Just a heads up, privacy badger effectively doesn’t do anything besides take up resources and make you slightly more fingerprintable as compared to simply using ublock. All of its useful behaviors were culled a few years ago, funny enough, due to fingerprinting. Its blocklist is severely out of date.
I was aware that they made that change but I didn’t know it made it worse for tracker blocking. I don’t see ads and I don’t get the external discussions such as discus so it seems to work.
Yeah, I agree. I never really minded ads as I just mentally ignore them so I didn’t use an ad blocker for a very long time after it was common practice. I also disagreed with the principle of ad blockers as sites need to pay their expenses.
But then they abused the data that they collected to change people’s political opinions in a way that went way beyond just your standard political ads and that was it for me.
They still have to pay way more than the others, a tax cut just means they dont have to pay as much more as before, still more (percantage-wise even) than you and me.
Apparently some country did not pronounce it as saemen, i’m from Malaysia and everyone just say Salmon instead, so chance is if you use the intended pronunciation in your area, no one will understand what you mean. Use what your country prefer i’d say.
I also get a button along with those to continue in my browser (on mobile). I just tap to continue on Firefox, and it works (at least on any subs that are not NSFW).
Firstly, why are you using Google? Secondly, you must be doing something else wrong because I have never seen that outside of NSFW stuff. The only time I go to reddit is on mobile via the browser when I’m searching for something, and I’m not logged into an account.
That’s great that it doesn’t happen for you. For me, any time I end up on Reddit in a browser on iPhone, it gives the obnoxious “open in app or continue in browser” popup.
I use private mode in safari though, maybe it’s not saving a cookie or something.
You see, Hummus was having an existential episode about Solipsism and sought to take it out on the nearest thing that claimed its own existence. Isreal was just the nearest such thing.
That, and someone was playing This Land Is Mine WAY too loud last night, and Hummus is cranky.
I did it on the circle line once. Woke up at Hammersmith. Luckily though I was going to Paddington, so it wasn't the worst trip back. Epping, on the other hand...
Did this on a bus once. My college roommate and I went to London for spring break. We randomly got on the bus to see what the suburbs were like. We only planned on staying on for an hour or so, but fell asleep and 3 hours later ended up at the end of the line in who knows where.
Thankfully there was one last bus that was headed back to Central London, or we would have been screwed. Of course it was express, so it only took 45 mins to get back.
Epping sounds like the kind of town people don’t even live in on purpose. They just missed their stop and was so embarrassed that they moved there rather than admit their mistake.
Breaks up more families than war and infidelity combined!
The nestlé boycott has always struck me as mostly hollow. I mean sure, it’s not a bad thing to do, but it seems for the majority of people it starts and ends there. Like yup, that’s the one bad company
