Ad blocking on your phone and TV including YT is possible BTW.

I absolutely agree about trailers though. Trailers ruin movies.

It blocks the YT ads. Watch video, cast to TV. Isn't that what your original question was? I mentioned SmartTube in my 1st reply as it's the best adblocked YT experience on a TV for sure, but it does require an Android based set top box or TV OS. If you are in an Apple ecosystem, use brave just for casting YT to TV.

Me either, but it is effective at blocking YouTube ads on iOS for free 🤷🏼‍♂️

There are other paid options, and other side loading options as well. But Brave is easy and it works. I only use it for youtube.com on my iPad, so I'm personally fine with allowance for that.

Use SmartTube on Android TV and Fire TV. Cast from Brave browser on Apple TV or Roku.

I switched to searx.be a couple of days ago and so far I'm quite happy with the results.

I picked a cheap phone on purpose, but I don't know how I'll be able to go back to a phone that doesn't have the chop to activate the flashlight gesture. It works everytime for me, and it's a pretty easy gesture. I've never had it go off accidentally either. Same goes for the double twist for the camera.

The guestures have been such a pleasant surprise for my budget tier device.

Cool, thanks! Something I've been meaning to try out.

Which one? Something paid or self hosted?

Govt: We’re switching to electric. Buy an EV!

Consumers: Buy Chinese affordable EV

Govt: Not like that!

Perhaps, but since they're prohibitively expensive we aren't buying enough of them.

There are already other open source forks of Firefox that are community driven and maintained without employees or a for profit organization behind them. The obvious example is LibreWolf which describes itself as "a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom". There's no argument that maintaining a web browser is currently complex and needs to make security first decisions, but LibreWolf as an example shows us that it is not only possible but I argue proves it will continue even if Firefox as we know it goes away.

You may want to educate yourself before spreading unnecessary FUD. Firefox is free and open source, and always has been. There's no danger in Firefox becoming a paid browser because even if they tried, it would just be forked and maintained by another community or group.

Mozilla does have a for-profit arm called the Mozilla Corporation, and they manage the money received from Google and others. But that doesn't mean Firefox is going to become paid even if Google gets broken up by the antitrust efforts of the US government.

Fellow Moto chop and twist gestures 💪🏻

I personally recommend the stable version. It has integrated Adblock and sponsorblock. The dev is very responsive when issues arise like YouTube breaking stuff.

Any reason you recommend the beta instead of the stable version?

I'm guessing that's not the reason for the downvotes. Even though this is the reddit community, Lemmy users generally just don't care about what happens on reddit.

Yeah this surprised me. Is NFC payment not common in India?

These days they would be using an esim rather than a physical sim.
