Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?

[-] ekky43@lemmy.dbzer0.com 45 points 1 year ago

I know that I'm at fault here for using such services, but Pihole can't block the ads that are hosted on the same server as the service, eg. Half the ads on Youtube.

It's still really good for privacy though, blocking mIcRoSoFt spyware and all kinds of other stuft. And you can create your own blocklists.

I just got a pihole setup and im curious how youd block Microsoft stuff using it. Is it part of a blocklist or is it something you manually filtered?

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

one of Dan's list blocks a bunch of them, has something like 500k item on it.

Just know that DoH is probably going to ruin the fun for you. Unless your blocking all DoH hosts.

In my Opnsense setup I have some lists added to block all traffic to known DoH servers...

I'm not loyal to a browser, I'm loyal to features. If Chrome supported ad block on mobile and FF stopped, I'd switch overnight

[-] Darth_Vader__@lemmy.world 49 points 1 year ago

Which is exactly the way it should be. And it's a godsend that firefox supports uBlock in mobile.

[-] PP_BOY_@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

Definitely, YT background play and ad block have been a lifesaver on car rides

Have you heard about our god and savior newpipe ?

Libretube is also a fine option. Available on F-droid

From me it would need more. Chrome has more (mostly privacy related) disadvantages compared to Firefox than that

[-] OscarRobin@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

You don't care about the many other ways that not using and supporting Chromium is better, ie. not having Google's new invasive advertising system?

[-] Laitinlok@discuss.tchncs.de 31 points 1 year ago

I still prefer firefox for other reasons

[-] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 30 points 1 year ago

Fuck Chrome

[-] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I just set up a pi hole, I was late to the party.

So much shit is pushed from our PCs, and phones. 49.85% of requests are blocked by it.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 11 points 1 year ago

It's even more horrifying when you realize that's a lower bound. It doesn't even include dynamically loaded ads from the same domains, and it doesn't include ads that can't be blocked because it would stop services from working.

Was using Chrome as my main browser and FF as my second browser last week. Uninstalled Chrome, made Firefox my main browser and Waterfox as my second browser. Forget Chrome and forget Edge!

[-] Ghoelian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Why would you need a second browser?

if only ublock could stop these Firefox ads

Meanwhile Mozilla: fires 200 workers to pay the CEO 2M :)

[-] SnowdenHeroOfOurTime@unilem.org 20 points 1 year ago

Ah well then I guess Google actually isn't destroying privacy after all

[-] dustyData@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

There's LibreWolf, Waterfox, Basilisk, Pale Moon and Pulse. You don't have to support Mozilla if you don't want to and at the same you don't have to submit to Chrome's supremacy.

[-] darcy@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 year ago

I love librewolf

First slide says something along the lines of "boo, i just use adblock" and the second one should make sense
