Got a pi hole, what are ads in general?
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?
one of Dan's list blocks a bunch of them, has something like 500k item on it.
Gotcha, thanks for sharing :)
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...
Oh, definitely!
I still prefer firefox for other reasons
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.
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.
Infuriating, isn't it? Half of all requests are completely unnecessary and serve you no purpose
if only ublock could stop these Firefox ads
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!
Why would you need a second browser?
Because I'm an admin of multiple Azure tenants so I have the main one logged in on Firefox and the other one on Waterfox.
You can do that all in Firefox with account containers

First slide says something along the lines of "boo, i just use adblock" and the second one should make sense
WEI has a lot of issues and should not ever be implemented, but it's not going to stop you from using ad blockers, nor could it be made to do so.
The issues with it are that it makes it much easier to individually track users and it will make it nearly impossible for new browsers to gain traction.
Not directly, but indirectly it can. By simply just blocking browsers that allow meaningful ad blocking. And not just ad blocking, but it can be applied to any kinds of user-side modifications.
the eternal cycle:
- see "firefox good, chrome bad" posts
- start using firefox
- firefox: crashes randomly when opening some video in fullscreen
- sigh and go back to chrome again
firefox: crashes randomly when opening some video in fullscreen
If a "random" crash is enough to convince you to abandon Firefox and go back to Chrome that's just on you.
Sounds like a graphic driver problem.
The firefox process on my machine has been running since 07.23, that is, for almost 2 months now. I just asked it and it feels ok
Maybe file a bug?
You have to make some concessions in order to keep your privacy as a human right.
You do realise ublock origin exists for Chrome as well right?
not for long, and expect even more restrictions to its use after Web Environment Integrity.
