@Carlos Renato Hertel That is correct in some cases, but my sister for example, when I asked her questions if she knows about how much of her data is being spied on, told me that she doesn't care about it even remotely. She says she is glad with the services google provides and she is okay with google listening to her 24/7 and knowing everything about her. I was shocked with the extent of ignorance she has.
I enjoyed the indepth explanation to each and every setting and add-on. I really learned something and I realized that one produces more data than on e might think.
By now, although Decentraleyes is still the best extension for Chromium-based browsers (and also Pale Moon and Firefox ESR 52) to locally store copies of common JS libraries, a fork called Local CDN is a better solution for recent versions of Firefox, to store not just JS libraries but also common Web fonts and CSS resets.
@@samsanggrandprime6161 It locally stores common JavaScript libraries, so they don't need to be downloaded every time they're needed; this means that the sites hosting those libraries will not have a record of your IP address downloading the libraries, with the page you visited in the REFERER header. This does occasionally break sites, because the extension only stores some versions of the libraries and picks the earliest version that isn't older than the site is looking for, but sometimes the site requires a *specific* version of a library; the toolbar button will allow you to disable Decentraleyes per-site if this happens, and it does happen more often with Local CDN.
for 5 years i'v been thinking that my laptop is slow to run youtube fast enough, but this video made me so happy to know that it's just all about code🙂
the user-agent in the video and the one in firefox are by different people. video shows "alexander" while firefox shows "erin". is this still the same ext?
@@heterodoxagnostic8070 local in the sence from it will load? So from where loading the content locally will know what am I loding, dosent it better to load from the cdn insteed of local, as local can can also load malware???
First I was like: Well, these ublock tricks are really good to block invasive content. One day later, after clicking on hundreds of 'allow'/'deny' in page specifications, I am: arrr, I can't stand ublock breaking every page I enter. Time to go back to a vanilla ublock usage.
I used to do that with uMatrix. I understand that most people don't want to do that, but I got used to it and didn't mind. I did end up switching to Brave, for other reasons.
"we install everything via terminal" I beg to differ. Sometimes some software (wine dev build is one of them) only has a tarball. No apt or emerge repo. I need the dev build for some game, so I can't just use the normal version. I can't really switch my whole system to beta testing either, I need my software to be stable.
it works only if you have all javascript disabled, which will almost never be the case, and chances are if a website works without javascript it's already based and doesn't need spoofing because you can trust it.
But security researcher Sun Knudsen said that Adblock is dangerous because it accesses your whole computer (file access permissions). He has a whole video on it and he might look into uBlock origin to see if it presents the same dangers (SPOILERS: uBlock origin has the same sorts of permissions)
Yes those permissions are dangerous if an extension is untrustworthy. uBlock Origin seems trustworthy so far but a fork of it called Nano had its Chrome store listing sold to people who turned it into malware. (The Firefox version of Nano Adblocker is not malware but last I heard it's not being maintained anymore.)
I've followed the ublock steps but now my youtube videos and anime streaming services aren't loading. and I've clicked allow on everything I could see that is supposedly required by the sites.
the thing with putting advanced settings on ublock is that you have to be ready to seeing basically every website break and you needing to spend 10 minutes to make it work again. if you aren't ready for that, don't do the advanced ublock settings, it's still pretty good on default settings.
Just a simple comparison showed that UBlock Origin for me not only Blocked more Trackers and Ads but i can also get rid of these nasty Antiadblock Popups all in one single Addon
pretty much yes, although one thing that will get outdated is the most common user agent. if a new windows version releases, you might need to start making your user agent that version instead. other than that, this advice is going to be timeless for a while
Yeah if you don't mind it being newly owned and operated by a Chinese corporation. Personally, I wouldn't care even though I use Firefox, but some are playing the spy card on Opera
