      The amount of stuff I watched on YouTube was 0.

      Honestly it’s about time the internet grows up a bit and stops relying on horrible video tutorials.

        I’m sorry - video tutorials are so much easier for me to learn from than reading. I am 40 and have a disability. It’s far easier for me to comprehend a video than reading - and since I can’t have someone come to my home and teach or show me all the things I want to learn how to do - I watch videos.

        I think the issue is corporate greed - not people wanting to watch cat videos and learn how to unclog a sink or watch someone cook something.

        For certain specific use cases a video tutorial can be incredibly useful… like replacing specific parts on appliances or cars after diagnosing the problem.

        Much of the content there is just noise to me too but there’s definitely some shit I find valuable.

    I never stopped using Firefox, and I never had a problem with anything but Government sites.

      Google has learned Embrace Extend Extinguish.

      They’re game plan is to kill their competition in the long run.

    Sorry, a little bit OOTL. I remember about Chrome making adblock-blockers. But could someone explain the relation to youTube?

      YouTube has ads and google’s new WEI api will force browsers to comply.

      Web Environment Integrity (WEI) is an api that will validate your browser and hardware to ensure you’re not tampering with webpages in any meaningful way.

      extensions and unapproved browsers will be gutted.

    Both YouTube and Chrome are bloatwares in my Samsung smartphone. I happily use NewPipe!
