Half of the channel you mention here were listed in the thread about youtubers who went to shit, which triggered this one here…

He did only like 5 videos in total or something though. The Jeff Bezos boat is bloody hilarious as well. This guy is absolutely unhinged.

Mark Rober.

He got louder, flashier, less techy and more talky and is doing a gazillion reruns of the same general idea over and over. Can’t really enjoy it anymore.

Yeah he talks like he’s on coke now. Borderline unwatchable. I bet you can reduce the playback speed by 50% and it would de-stress the whole experience.

viking, to asklemmy in What is your unpopular flim opinion
@viking@infosec.pub avatar

I was with you in the first paragraph.

In the second I wanted to differentiate between the original trilogy and whatever came next.

In the third one, my opinion is directly opposite.

Is there any specific use case for the app that you don’t get with the mobile website?

I’ve figured out that my bank’s app is basically a wrapper for the mobile website, the only thing they added being fingerprint login.

Instantly deleted the app and use the website now, one less thing that can potentially spy on me.

Following the pro-Mull comments here I’ve given it a try for a solid 48h, and just reverted back to Fennec. Mull is simply restricting the user experience too much, and I’m not willing to make the sacrifice.

My biggest annoyances:

  1. Websites don’t get information about dark mode from my device and revert back to light mode by default.
  2. Websites don’t get information about the system time on my phone and deliver content based on GMT+0.
  3. Some websites get wrong (or none?) information about the screen resolution and are unusable.

I’m aware that those details are suppressed to avoid fingerprinting, and while I believe that the intention is good, it makes using my phone more cumbersome, and that’s not something I’m willing to do. So my choices at this point are basically to keep using Mull and deactivate the advanced fingerprinting protection, or use Fennec as before.

No, I’m talking about Firefox. Fennec, that is, but the key functions are all the same.

It’s not in the settings however, you need to open the site in question and press the lock icon in the address bar next to the URL, the context menu there allows to delete cookies and site specific data.

Right, I’ll look into that. Thanks!

You can delete cookies and data on a per-site basis, and advanced tracking protection prevents any nefarious websites from exploiting your browser. That’s all I care for.

Yes, and I do, and yet there are still some escapees. Might be a fringe case as I live in Asia, but at least for me it serves a purpose.

Interesting, I’ll look deeper into that. They have an adblocking engine as well though and catch a few random ones uBlock doesn’t, so I’m not totally convinced they are fully redundant.

Fennec (Firefox based), with Ghostery and uBlock origin installed.

You’ll have to set add-ons up as a private collection for them to work, but it’s easy as pie.

Videos from Amazon Prime, Netflix etc., not general videos. I can watch 4k videos in Firefox without any problems, if there’s no rights management in place.
