When my personal Roku TV died, I just didn't replace it. If I ever do get another TV, I'll look for a dumb one (they still make them for institutional customers like hospitals etc) & connect a mini-PC that cuts out all the data surveillance / advertising shenanigans.

Due to Youtube shenanigans at the moment, things like YtDownloader & Cobalt.tools not working (they'll probably need a few days to adjust).

But downloading a YT video in Firefox with the Video Download Helper extension still works! So no worries about interruptions during the watch party :)

there is a whole startup that apparently exists just so that websites can have a one-day r/uBlockOrigin thread about them

@CaileanG

Yep. This is why #AdBlocking is so good for #MentalHealth.

I run AdGuard on my devices. It works.

Today, I came across a website that showed me an ad. I navigated to the AdGuard plugin, and the webbrowser shut down.

Rinse – repeat.

So I went into the AdGuard app, and blocked the whole damn domain. No ads for me; no ads served for them.
