davinci-resolve-linux VS uBlock

Here's a HOWTO. There are many others if you websearch.

Personally, I really like Davinci Resolve. It’s a great free editor with plenty of YouTube videos showing how to use it. Here is one of my favorites.

Hyvänä videoeditorina suosittelen BMD:n DaVinci Resolvea. Sen saa ladattua ilmaiseksi tuolta ja on ihan ammattitason softa https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

Davinci Resolve is a free, and fantastic video editing software. What I would do is exit you audio as normal. Once you have your final project, render it out as a single file. Use Resolve to bring in the final single file audio. Grab an image of your podcast logo, and drag it to the ends of the audio file. You can then export the whole project to a YouTube friendly format. Uploead that file to YouTube, and you should be good to go. You can go deeper, and add your own subtitles, maybe helpful graphics on what you are talking about, or make highlights of an episode. Program is pretty powerful, and is used in a lot of video production professionally. https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

> I'd love to see an alternative world where everything has an equivalent open-source software that people can switch to

Keep in mind that software doesn't need to be open source to run on Linux. Developers can still support the Linux ecosystem by porting proprietary software to Linux.

Examples of proprietary Linux software that is used professionally:

- DaVinci Resolve (video editing suite): https://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/davinciresolve/

- Bitwig Studio (digital audio workstation): https://www.bitwig.com

- JetBrains Rider (IDE for .NET): https://www.jetbrains.com/rider/

Check out uBlock Origin's per site switches [1]

If ads, in particular on YouTube, are the problem, anything Chromium-based is probably only going to get worse and worse (see [1] and [2]). So that basically leaves you with Firefox and Safari.

I work for Mozilla (speaking for myself, of course), so I'll leave you to guess which I'd recommend :P

Or if on mobile, it is well worth it to look up adblock options for the browser you use.

What are the compelling advantages of Chrome nowadays?

Chrome is working to limit the capabilities of ad blockers:

Whereas a compelling advantage of Firefox is that uBlock Origin works best in Firefox:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...

Advertising networks have often been vectors for malware. Using an ad blocker is an important security measure. Even the FBI recommends ad blockers:

> It allows for 30,000 dynamic rules

That is not what we mean by dynamic filters. From https://developer.chrome.com/blog/improvements-to-content-fi...

> However, to support more frequent updates and user-defined rules, extensions can add rules dynamically too, without their developers having to upload a new version of the extension to the Chrome Web Store.

What Chrome is talking about is the ability to specify rules at runtime. What critics of Manifest V3 are talking about is not the ability to dynamically add rules (although that can be an issue), it is the ability to add dynamic rules -- ie rules that analyze and rewrite requests in the style of the blockingWebRequest permission.

It's a little deceptive to claim that the concerns here are outdated and to point to vague terminology that sounds like it's correcting the problem, but on actual inspection turns out to be entirely separate functionality from what the GP was talking about.

> Giving this ability to extensions can slow down the browser for the user. These ads can still be blocked through other means.

This is the debate; most of the adblocking community disagrees with this assertion. uBO maintains a list of some common features that are already not possible to support in Chrome ( https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b... ) and has written about features that are not able to be supported via Chrome's current V3 API ( https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home/wiki/Frequently-as... ). Of particular note are filtering for large media elements (I use this a lot on mobile Firefox, it's great for reducing page size), and top-level filtering of domains/fonts.

> "Its happened before"

> That's not an argument

It's a subheading to "2. Browser engine monopoly". The subsection's purpose is describing how bad things were during the IE monopoly to reinforce that it's something to be avoided.

> in fact you could counter-argue that IE left a lot of technical debt

That would be agreeing with the article, unless I understand what you mean.

> On top of that, the internet was very different back then.

In a way that now makes it harder for truly new competing engines to pop up due to increased complexity of the web.

> I'm still not convinced, why would I change my browser?

The points made in the article are:

* Increased privacy, opposed to willingly giving your data to an ad-tech company

* Helps avoid a browser engine monopoly which would effectively let Google dictate web standards

* It’s fast and has a nice user interface

Onto which I'd add:

* Content blockers work best on Firefox (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-b...), doubly so when Manifest V3 rolls out

* Allows more customization of interface and home page

* UX improvements, like the clutter-free reader mode, aren't vetoed to protect search revenue as with Chrome (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37675467)

Advertising networks are vectors for malware:

So if you're concerned about security then you want the browser with the best ad blocker.

Firefox has the best adblocking capability with ublock origin, which explicitly operates better on Firefox. https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox
