@Razemix @arstechnica uBlock Origin is very nice but it oft glitches the site out, because they still manage to detect running ad blockers. :/

@Xarizzar @arstechnica For me it sometimes takes a while to start playing a video. Very rarely (like once a week?) I need to reload the page. But other than that, nothing major. 🤷‍♂️ Still worth it. And without it, the web (outside of fedi and indie web) is practically unusable.

@Razemix Absolutely. I was just talking about YouTube. Running a browser without an ad blocker nowadays is a death wish
