Good old google. Allways such a nice company that doesn’t use its power in one area to get more power in another.

Does anyone still remember the old, inofficial Google slogan? “Don’t be evil”…
Show threadirmozNov 21, 2023
…yes? It’s a massive circlejerk at this point to bring it up and laugh at how google dropped it over 10 years ago.

It was a circle jerk when they introduced it
Show threadirmozNov 21, 2023
Really? I remember google was actually respected back then. I don’t recall any circlejerking about google that long ago.
Show threadPerfideNov 21, 2023
Google as whole no, maybe, but that slogan was absolutely mocked from the start. Remember that this was right around when shit like The Matrix, Hackers, etc… were big pillars of the internet. “Don’t be evil” inherently sets off alarm bells regardless of anything else.

Google uses slowdown, its super effective.

Actually, Firefox counters with uBlock Origin and Google’s slowdown misses.

Was about to ask which extension can spoof Browser Strings for specific sites.

Good ol’ uBlock counters yet again. We gotta protect that extension and all the filter list maintainers.

Waaait, why am I using a separate user agent switcher if uBO can do that already??

That’s awesome!

Show threadNyfureNov 21, 2023

afaik it doesnt spoof the user-agent (which doesnt really hide your browser for more advanced scripts at all), but simply blocks the script responsible for checking.

Because Google apparently cannot afford to do such checks in the backend, same with the Ads, all Client-Side, no wonder we can easily bypass it.

User Agent Switcher used to do this.

Yeah, I used to spoof Chrome a long time for recaptcha’s too. Unknown or competition browsers used to often get failed the first try whatever you chose, while spoofing chrome just got the green tag without images. It’s become less obvious these days, but I wouldn’t be amazed “using” Chrome still gives you more “trust”.
Show threadstoyNov 21, 2023

I would counter that there has only been one time in the past when it has been more important to use Firefox than now, that was when IE6 almost ruined the web.

You could actually argue that it is more important now, as Google is actively working to harm the open internet, which MS only did passively with IE6.

Show threadFleshtrapNov 21, 2023
I mean, if Google is scared to compete with Mozilla… it must be good? So yes.
Show threadtryptaminev 🇵🇸 🇺🇦 🇪🇺Nov 21, 2023

If that can be proved, this should justify another anti trust investigation against Google.

This is precisely why monopolies or suchquasi-monopolies are terrible for the market and customers.

For YT and others I use the MotionBox Browser, it’s the best and fastest, with it you never need to visit YT again. No ads, tracking or other crap, it even gives you the YT link for sharing. It supports DuckDuckGo, BitTorrent, TMDB, Youtube, Dailymotion, Vimeo, Twitch, TikTok, Facebook, Odysee, PeerTube, Last .fm and SoundCloud. (FOSS, Windows, Linux, Mac, Android)

MotionBox Video Browser

MotionBox is a Video Browser for Motion Freedom.

Wasn’t this refuted? The script that people kept spamming was for check for adblock 5sec after loading the content.
Show threadKuroiKazeNov 21, 2023
Yup it was proven Google didn’t do this and it was just an incendiary headline to get clicks. Of course even in the comments of this people are still believing it.
Show threadguitars are realNov 21, 2023
I wish more content creators would upload to PeerTube. I get it, there’s no instances with good monetization options, it just sucks we’re all stuck in various walled gardens because of how expensive video delivery is.

Why are you posting screenshots from reddit when this was all over Lemmy yesterday?

Why do you think this is a screenshot of Reddit?

We’ve finally made it! People look at a picture of Lemmy thinking it’s a more popular platform.
