  I remember, like a decade ago, you used to have to install a whole bunch of different extensions to fill them all out. Now it’s one extension, and it pretty much comes perfectly configured right out of the box. You don’t even need to fiddle with it.

  I’ve practically forgotten that ads exist.

    Anything chromium (well manafest V3) needs uBlock Origin lite, otherwise it is just UBO

      I think edge is still supporting v2, oddly.

      Those are all just WebKit-based browsers, which is Safari, too

        Edge is Chromium, not Webkit

    15 years ago when I aww my first ad, I got Adblock Plus and that was it easy. Then I eventually moved to uBlock Origin, as you do. ABP was there from day one with YouTube ads. I was there. I seent it.

      Add black plus was pretty good, but it could leak from time to time with YouTube ads. Sometimes needed a little extra to make sure you got everything on YouTube.

        Add black!?

        I generally couldn’t watch YouTube on my phone or tablet if I wanted to. With vpn and Adblock, it would ask me to login.

        I just use freetube on pc.

  Ok serious question. On my phone I use Firefox with ublock and don’t get any ads. But on PC I use the same and it doesn’t stop the ads. wtf?

    FF with Ublock should block Youtube out of the box. Have you messed with the block-lists or other configuration?

      You know what though I looked on the desktop and I didn’t have it enabled for private browsing. Thanks for the clue that helped solve it!

      Not block lists, but do have it set to be permanently private browsing on my phone and desktop

    Are you using uBlock or uBlock Origin? You should be using Origin.

      Sorry was just being lazy, yeah it’s uBlock Origin

    Are you using Chrome?

    • mrmisses@lemmy.world ⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      No Firefox and uBlock Origin on both phone and desktop

    you can also use ublock origin to block the login popup for facebook.
