I support the first thing, searching by instance url and filtering instances over on https://lemmyverse.net
Blocking an entire instance is only possibly by admins defederating I believe. You can filter it out on lemmyverse, though 😁
There is some stuff like auto expanding content and not blurring NSFW content. Simple stuff. Hoping those features will make it back up into Lemmy soon.
That's worrying. I wasn't surprised that google did it with chrome, but this is surprising. I was thinking surely people would be looking to fork it and take it in a different direction. Maybe it's finally time to switch to another browser. With just chromium and Mozilla engines, I wonder what the good options would be.
Yeah this is problematic for open source software. Plenty of better ways to implement a security feature. Seems they will probably end up blocking adblockers eventually with features like this. Why was it approved, surely there is some discussion on the Dev mailing lists?
Use a smaller instance. 😅 One that's local to you ideally.
