Unless I'm mistaken, PiHole won't block Youtube ads because they're served from the same domain as the videos.

Pihole doesn’t work for YouTube, because they host the ads on the same servers as the videos. Blocking ads would also block videos. And uBlock Origin is a constant game of whack-a-mole, with YouTube constantly trying new ways to evade the ad blocker.

Hell, they’ve even started embedding the ad directly into the same video stream if they think you’re using an ad blocker, so it’s all one contiguous video that runs straight from the ad into the video you wanted to watch. Then they just block you from skipping ahead in the video stream until the ad is done.

So you’re still smug, and offering misleading advice. Peak substack vibes.

Android using waterfox with ublock, no ads on youtube or anywhere else

or Brave

Uuhhh, yeah, no. Don't do this. Librewolf – or really any Firefox browser, even with how Mozilla is right now – is going to be a lot better choice than the homophobia-and-crypto Chromium browser.

Unfortunately Firefox is also an ads company now, but still gecko-based browsers are the only good choice rn

Apple’s side loading is just EU as far as I know.

Apple's sideloading is somewhere between a ridiculously off the mark compromise they've lobbied for and malicious noncompliance.

Brazil and Japan is adopting the "side loading", so it is happening, but slowly.

There's also a few examples of this, that we dont hear about in the media as much, but there's some food quality and plastic standards that spreads.

I also remember something about airplanes and your rights when flights are delayed and stuff, but I cant recall it specifically.
