Privacy Badger has historically allowed tracking until it successfully identifies a domain as a likely tracker. Like the air bags going off after you’ve already wrapped your car around a telephone pole. But it’s now been changed and is now closer to a list-based tracker blocker (enumerate badness):

Privacy Badger no longer learns from your browsing by default, as “local learning” may make you more identifiable to websites.

They’ve since corrected one of the core issues with PB by doing so, but it still it is very weak. To see why, please glance through The Six Dumbest Ideas in Computer Security.

uBlock Origin in advanced mode, with default-deny rules (only allow assets by exception) is going to be much stronger at blocking crap.

Personally, I use uMatrix with pretty much all asset classes blocked by default. I never see popups. I never see banners begging “please allow our cookies, pleeeeaaase!”.

Because I frequently use mpv, yt-dlp or a combination of both, the value I find in Invidious is in being able to conduct video searches against Youtube. And luckily that still works on public instances.

Ah, the beginner loadout.

If the stereotype is to be believed, why is this, do you think? Why would Linux and open source software attract such a disproportionately high number of transfrem individuals?

And would it be causative or is it or non-causative?

This is my ‘prepare for battle’ jam ngl

I’ve been wanting to get an old book like this and go through the install process of some OG linux just for the learning experience.

Firefox does everything anyone needs to do. I don’t understand how some people struggle so much.

I’ve always wondered what it is that people are doing when they say that FF is too slow or inadequate in some way. But elsewhere in this thread to be found:

There’s only like one notable website I’ve had to use chromium for instead of Firefox.

The website for recalibrating a Google Pixel’s fingerprint sensor. I’ve had to use that website twice, and I just used Microsoft Edge to do it since I can’t uninstall it.

Absolutely wild.

I would use firefox, but youtube is basically unusable on it.

Also wild.

There has been some back and forth between Goolag’s countermeasures and Invidious’ countermeasures before arriving at the current situation, Invidious seemingly having lost the battle.

From their git issue tracker:

Hello,

Sad news for everyone. YouTube/Google has patched the latest workaround that we had in order to restore the video playback functionality.

Right now we have no other solutions/fixes. You may be able to get Invidious working on residential IP addresses (like at home) but on datacenter IP addresses Invidious won’t work anymore. (Some datacenter IPs may still work, but that’s a matter of time until they don’t anymore.) … This is not the death of this project. We will still try to find new solutions, but this might take time, months probably.
