A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Fully blocking only if you aren't using uBlock Origin, which you just have to update the filters on.

Complete waste of effort.

Alphabet needs to be broken up.

Don't know, not using ublock origin. I use enhancer for YouTube on Firefox, and still not seeing any pop up.

Tho I have it set to allow ads for subscribed channels. Tho the setting seems bugged as a feature where most video ads get blocked, but some of them still run sometimes at the start of the video. The square adds on the side aren't blocked either, but they are not a hindrance.
