Perso j'utilise Apple Maps pour trouver des points d'intérêt (restos, essence, etc) autour de moi et ça marche très bien ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ce n'est pas important que peu de gens l'utilise tant que la base de données d'Apple est à jour. Ce n'est pas comme si tu l'utilisais pour de l'info-trafic.

I really do wonder why more people aren't using Delta Chat.

Me included.

Anyway. I remember using Session for a few months a couple of years ago. Something about the interface was bugging me. It felt sluggish.

I removed it and it was a pain.

YouTube's pricing is a mess. Here's a quick breakdown of their offer here in France :

• YouTube Premium (so video + music): 12€/m

• YouTube Music Premium (music only, obviously): 10€/m

One would assume based on this that Google values YouTube at only 2€/m per user. But anyway, let's take a look at their family plans for a laugh:

• YouTube Premium (6 users): 18€/m

• YouTube Music Premium (6 users still): 15€/m

Let's put aside the price discrepancy. 18/6 = 3€/m per user. All signs point to Google being ok with making between 2 and 3€ per user per month, yet such an offer doesn't exist. Hell, make it 4€, even. People would flock to it. But no, they're just being greedy.

Sideload uYou+ or set up Yattee. If you don't know how to do any of those things, look into DNS based ad-filtering like ControlD and install Video Lite. Or skip the DNS part and only install Video Lite, but you'll see in-app ads unless you pay the $12/y subscription.

Obviously not.

If you're saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I'm sorry but I wouldn't know. Not because I didn't try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.

Edit: cointelegraph, not "cointelegram."

Kind of explains why he isn't posting there then, doesn't it?

Because it isn't secure at all?

Heh.

They silently dropped that motto eons ago.

You're welcome :-)

Is wipr an extension?

Yep. It isn't a full-on app like Adguard.

what's the privacy like

Here's the succinct privacy notice. Nothing whatsoever is collected.

is it open source

Pretty sure it isn't.

People suggesting DNS filtering are missing the point. Yes, people should do it, but for cosmetic stuff you need a browser extension.

Anyway. I used to use Adguard. Like you, I noticed how slow it was making Safari. Worse, sometimes it simply wouldn't work even though it was supposedly active.

I gave Ghostery a try. It worked. No slowdowns or anything. Then I settled for Wipr. You can't add custom lists to it, but at least it works as intended and doesn't seem to slow down Safari.

I only ditched Ghostery because I don't exactly trust them. Otherwise it was working perfectly, too.

PS: I am obviously also using a custom DNS server. I'm a ControlD customer.

Thanks, I needed a laugh.

Neat, thanks!

I didn't hear anyone complain when Firefox added pocket support

People did. I did. Firefox's Pocket integration is always the first thing I disable on a fresh install. You'll always find people complaining about the tiniest things :-)

Oh, indeed! I missed the fact there was a second script. So there's one for Mlmym and another for "regular" Lemmy instances. My bad.

(It's still got the @match https://*/* that I dislike, though.)

Because it only works via the Mlmym frontend, supposedly. Give it a go: https://o.opnxng.com/lemmy.nicknakin.com/

I haven't tested it myself. I hate scripts with dodgy website checks. The author should have hardcoded the known Mlmym instances instead. (or maybe that's just a "me" problem.)

inb4 but this way the script needs less maintenance

If the Mlmym dev renames the "spacer" or "icon" classes for any reason or if he changes Mlmym's HTML structure, this script would stop working immediately.

And anyway, running a check on every page your browser visits to determine if it is a Mlmym instance or not is simply inefficient and, I'd argue, bad practice, security-wise.

Ohhh. So anon doesn't know how to spell, I see.

Or uYou+, if you're in the know. Otherwise Video Lite + filtering ads at the DNS level also works (if you really want a dedicated app).
