New ubo feature: if page does not grant permission to block ads then entire page is blocked.

When I come across a paywall that is not circumvented by simple script blocking I don’t even bother to try anymore and I remove these suggestions from my feed.

There isn’t an RSS feed for Discover I could just access with a feed reader?

Absolutely. Too bad that even unobtrusive ads still can’t be trusted not to have trackers.

“The growth of dark traffic undermines the ability of publishers to fund the production of quality content, or even operate as a business. We must recognise users are not the main driver causing this.”

“It’s demonetising publisher content at scale without user consent.”

They act like we don’t know what we are doing and want the ads. People who block ads in browsers like ddg and brave choose those browsers for that reason.

I believe that also works in Firefox now

I use Firefox with Phoenix on the desktop so the standard profile is just a little less strict than librewolf and the hardened profile is a little more strict. https://github.com/celenityy/Phoenix

I’ve been on mastodon for 8 years and it’s ok but it can’t catch the masses. It has been paralyzed from advancing by a vocal minority.

It shouldn’t take 6 years to get search and quote posts. They also need optional algorithmic feeds.

Bot?

I’m just afraid it’s gonna be another 2 years before it’s ready for everyday use
