To all the people crying about "Why shouldn't YouTube be allowed to make money from ads!"
If I print a newspaper entirely funded through advertising revenue - and you pick up a free copy, do you think it is ok for me to break in to your house to make sure you are looking at the ads?
Because that is what YouTube are doing when they deploy their spyware to detect #adblockers
#privacy is a #fundamentalright - fight for it or lose it.
Long Live AdBlockers 👍
They just keep getting better and better.
Kudos to Brave, Noscript, Origin and all the others.
@maddad @thatprivacyguy Brave should not be on that list. They do some really shady shit.
@LouisIngenthron @thatprivacyguy
That stuff can all be disabled though. I'd take Brave on Linux over anything google any day of the week.
@maddad @thatprivacyguy Right, but that's like saying "I'll let someone piss on my leg rather than eat a shit sandwich."
Firefox, uBlockOrigin, NoScript. That's the trifecta.
No need to use a privacy-violating, ad-helping, crypto-scamming company to do it.
@LouisIngenthron @thatprivacyguy
I never see any of that stuff on brave as it's all disabled.
'Firefox, uBlockOrigin, NoScript. That's the trifecta.'
This is my 2nd go to 😀
@maddad @thatprivacyguy Okay, well the last argument I'll try making is a moral one. The people who run brave are... not good people.

@LouisIngenthron @thatprivacyguy
That's something I'll agree with you on 😂
