I too love ublock but your statement just smacks of stupidity. I don't want a mainstream browser to be so opinionated as to take it upon itself to block various domains. And the meme of calling everything you don't like "absolutely insane"... Take that shit back to Reddit imo
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoSure, I get the censorship issue but there’d be nothing stopping you select a blocklist which you politically and socially align to. AFAIK unlock origin does this, so why baking that directly into the browser makes you so mad is beyond me. And absolutely insane is a dig at this distopia where we’re allowing advertising companies to drive the technology which would arguably be more valuable than currency. But sure, off to Reddit I go, just because you don’t like the way I talk.
- darepublic 5y agosorry about that. yeah, my own reply was the stupid one.
- hsbauauvhabzb 5y agoI think your point about browser companies controlling blocklists is valid, particularly in the current landscape. I’m all for data privacy and freedom of speech, but i also think we need to place revocable trust in other parties to curate our data in a way that improves signal to noise ratios while not impeding on actual freedoms (lest we revoke our trust). But also browsers should just disable auto play videos they’re damn offensive.
