With #GoogleChrome preventing extensions like #uBlockOrigin working properly anymore, would setting up #AdBlocking via #NextDNS be a viable alternative instead?
Cath Outcome: almost everyone here on Mastodon uses an #adblocker .
Yes. Please.
EDIT: Nothing in the DDG UI *site-search* seems to indicate it's also available there. It would be a massive boon, though. In the meantime, the same list can be used in uBlockOrigin (and other adblockers, I guess), to also clean up those results https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

Do I have followers that do not use an #adblocker? If so, how do you survive on the current internet and why not use an adblocker?

Even easier! I use #VivaldiBrowser's #adblocker, and I don't even see the popup :)

@choam if privacy is your concern then you should use @brave. It still supports #ManifestV2, but also comes with a built-in #AdBlocker, and third party cookie blocking. Furthermore it still supports #DoNotTrack which Firefox is phasing out, so technically it's *more* private, and also MUCH faster!
I fully understand I have an #adblocker on and no I will not consider turning it off unless you remove all tracking from your ads and sites. Oh yeah make the ads unobtrusive. I would be willing to pay for a reasonable pay per article system with no ads.
Yeah, actually I'm not using an "ad blocker". I'm denying life-invading trackers (like facebook, etc) that give billionaires unnecessary data about my life that's only going to be hacked or sold off anyway. F off #CBS #adblocker
How is anyone watching #YouTube without an #adblocker? I tried to watch a tutorial and ads came on every two minutes, literally.
In a shocking twist of fate 
, Google—a company that thrives on ads—has decided to #nerf adblockers with #MV3. 
Because who could have guessed that the world's largest ad broker would want you to see more ads? Bravo, dear Derin, for uncovering this #conspiracy that even a goldfish could see coming.

Pro-tip: If you don't run your own #DNS #adblocker like #PiHole, and/or you haven't exposed it to the internet to be accessible on your phone when not on your local network: #AdGuard operates a free public #adblocking DNS server which seems to work really well. https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html
Servers: 94.140.14.14 and 94.140.14.15
Use those and any shitty "free" apps eg InShot that pull ads when you try to do something.. won't. No more eternally staring at a king dodging rocks or lava..

Adblocker: Mehr problematische Werbung trotz Schutzversprechen
Adblocker sollen vor lästiger Werbung schützen. Doch eine neue Studie zeigt: Ausgerechnet Nutzer mit Adblocker sehen mehr fragwürdige Anzeigen. Woran liegt das?

Funfact: Sobald auf einer Webseite der Hinweis erscheint, dass ich einen #Adblocker aktiviert habe, weiß ich direkt, dass diese Seite nicht zur Verbesserung meines Wohlbefindens beitragen kann und schließe sie augenblicklich. Das spart mir so viel Zeit und ich behalte meine gute Laune!

"#Mozilla has missed so many boats that it's not even funny to #catalog them, but sadly, I must."
"Most of the #web runs on #advertising, as it has for 20-plus years. You might think Mozilla would, say, buy and integrate an #adblocker. Acquiring #adblocking #companies has been a thing for a #decade. Other #browsers integrate ad-blocking, and you don't even need something controversial like #Brave – for instance, #VivaldiBrowser has offered it for years. Many of the #team behind #Vivaldi previously made #Opera, and it #blocked #ads too. (Soon afterwards, the company sold it to a #Chinese group.)
But no. Instead, Mozilla goes and buys an #ad firm and then removes its promise not to #sell your #data. Once again, it's as if the #leadership were actively trying to work out the worst direction to turn."
"The #AI trend is a cult now for many.
Whither Mozilla? Oh, it built a #bot into its docs #server in 2023, then promptly had to turn it off again. Its #chief product #officer was quite gung-ho about AI in early 2024. He left the company soon afterwards.
In 2024, Mozilla made more layoffs and announced it would invest in open source #AI. This year, Mozilla finally integrated a #vertical #tab bar into #Firefox and, you guessed it, built an AI #chatbot into it. You can, at least, turn it off."
Ich guck nicht viel #YouTube am Rechner, aber habe - dank eines Videoplugins, das "auch" Werbung blockiert - in den letzten paar Tagen die Youtube-#Adblocker-Eskalation erlebt:
1. (Letzte Woche noch) Video lädt deutlich länger (weil Adblocker entdeckt wurde), aber ohne Hinweis.
2. (Letzten Freitag) Video bekommt ein Pop-Up, dass das Abspielen wegen des Adblockers verzögert wurde.
3. (Gerade eben) Info-Pop-Up: "Wegen des Adblockers wird die Videowiedergabe nach 3 Videos für Sie abgestellt."
I sometimes wondered why I see ads that my #AdBlocker 1Blocker should have blocked.
Turns out the 1Blocker app needs to at least run in the background to update it‘s filters. So, for #iPhone and #ipad I created #shortcutapp automations to start 1Blocker once a week so that it has a chance to update the filter lists.
