the battle between ad-blockers and ad-blocker-blockers is eternal. adblockers will adapt.
if i block ads, it’s only fair that google tries to block my blocking of their ads. calling this “enshittification” is silly, they didn’t make their product worse they just are doing a better job of enforcing the rule that’s always been there.
there was a time when they were slow, but that’s mostly been resolved.
but it’s really just a cult thing now. people hate snaps because they think they’re supposed to hate snaps.
yeah, elon’s not going to see the negative consequences of this personally, because he’ll just use the “ban” button instead of the “block” button.
how exactly does chrome not respect my privacy?
and i don’t just mean “because it’s google and google is an ad company”. what specifically is it sending to some internet server that firefox doesn’t? both the firefox and address bars send what you type into them to a search provider. as near as i can tell, firefox’s committment to privacy is to say “we protect your privacy” while doing all the same stuff that chrome does.
he offered to buy twitter for a joke, and he actually did buy twitter because a court forced him to. not because this was some grand plan to accomplish anything - he literally spent months in court arguing that he shouldn’t have to buy twitter, and he lost. that’s the only reason he owns twitter now.
well yeah, if you pretend the laws don’t exist then nothing has to be illegal.
