I’m getting better at it though.
I’m so used to blocking ads that I sometimes forget they even exist and am always shocked when I see people who don’t use adblockers.
For real. I tried to show my dad a YouTube video on his phone not too long ago and just outright gave up after seeing that the duration of the ads would exceed the duration of the video. Revanced gang forever
Oh damn, did something replace vanced? I was super bummed out when mine stopped working and started watching youtube through brave browser on mobile.
Yeah a new? group took over and it’s working again. Check out https://revanced.app/
I’m more of a Libretube or Newpipe x Sponsorblock guy but glad to revanced be successful nonetheless
I didn’t realize how bad some channels sponsor to content ratio was until I started using sponsorblock and got to see a representation of the ratios in the video timeline highlighted in color.
It’s definitely changed the game for me, even if I used to just use the “jog keys” to do the same thing.
raw dogging the internet, i dont understand it 😩 and most the time, theyre completely oblivious and indifferent toward them
Having experienced it myself back in the wild days of the net before I discovered ad blockers, they were so omnipresent that you just kinda ignored them. Like noseblindness making you ignore a smell you’re used to, but when other people come in your home they ask you wtf that smell is.
Every time I’m using someone else’s tech and I see ads I actually quite enjoy them in a nostalgic way. I kind of miss the days when I used to know all the jingles for all the pizza chains and furniture stores in my area.
You need to start using uBlock Origin my friend.
If on Android, AdGuard is a system wide adblocker which works amazingly well. No root needed, a bit pricy for a lifetime license, but 100% worth it imo
That’s a pretty sweet combo, but yeah, adguard will take care of banner ads in apps too. There is a free trial for 1 or 2 weeks, other than that I think they have a monthly license, or a lifetime for around 100$. It’s quite a bit for an app but considering what it does, I do not regret at all. You can use it on multiple devices too. At the very least I would recommend the trial to see if it’s worth it for you
It feels so weird, scrolling through the posts without seeing an add.
No ads. Only beans 🫘
Good try, L’Oréal. I’ll continue to wash my hair with my body soap bar. I don’t care about what conditioner you want me to buy.
