Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads
Youtube seems to be doing some A/B testing with the comment system which has made proxies like Invidious and yt-dlp/Newpipe unable to load comments. There is a patch for Invidious [1] which solves this problem but it is not in master yet. I tested it on my own instance and it does solve the problem.

Google fights Invidious (a privacy YouTube Front end)
BTW, I don't understand the workaround: https://github.com/iv-org/invidious/pull/4552/files
Which was taken from here: https://github.com/LuanRT/YouTube.js/pull/624
Could anybody explain it to me?

YouTube is loading slower for users with ad blockers yet again
Use a Youtube proxy like Invidious [1], problem solved and you get to subscribe to channels without telling the Beast about your interests. Add Sponsorblock (which supports Invidious) to get rid of any in-stream advertising which remains and you'll be transported back to those hallowed times of yore when men were men, women were women and advertising was something you found in newspapers. Youtube will try to make this harder just like Xitter is trying to make it harder to use proxies like Nitter [2].

YouTube begins new wave of slowdowns for users with ad blockers enabled
Going to drop this here for others who haven't heard of it https://invidious.io/
Now, how do we fix this? YouTube's ad model sucks. Their algorithm sucks. Their front page sucks. They've captured a bunch of creators though so often YouTube is the only place you can find someone.
I want those creators to benefit from me viewing their videos. I want the fact that I view a video and like it to help other people find that video in their recommendations. I want an algorithm that shows me things that are interesting and relevant not one that promotes the spammiest and most ad heavy videos that barely have anything to do with my watch history.
Having an alternative front end is nice but I don't want to rob YouTube of the money they spend on hosting the videos.
So, how do we do this?
Peer to peer fails when there is little interest in something or when most people leech and it sucks for archiving old content.
Hosting it all in one place is super expensive and hard for a small group to manage without turning into YouTube.
Maybe we could find a way for the creators to host their own content and get paid when people view it while being part of a large federated network for easy discoverability?
Please list any projects you know of, I'm sure there are a lot of people here who would be willing to contribute or donate.

"How i learned about Firefox MPRIS" - or - "[PSA/FYI] Add years to your life by avoiding this critical 'WTF?!?' moment."
I started using firedragon yesterday. it's great so far. that's not what this is about, but, probably has something to do with it.
- Is anyone here using FireDragon? How does it compare with Firefox and LibreWolf?
- I'm looking for a lightweight, non-Chromium-based browser.

Trying to build from source

Binaries for Arch Linux are not compatible with older GLIBC versions (I'm trying to create AppImages for other GNU/Linux distributions).
PS: I have the same issue with another program named Firedragon, the Firefox/LibreWolf fork for Garuda Linux, I have already talked with the developer about this issue. The main binary cannot work on other Linux distributions because the GLIBC version is not compatible. Any tips?

Which one is better Liberwolf Browser or Brave Browser?
A fork of Librewolf that's less strict is Firedragon. If you want to stay within the Mozilla ecosystem but find Librewolf to be overkill, consider this alternative.
-
How's your experience with Librewolf browser?.
A less extreme alternative is Firedragon which I've heard good things about, but haven't used. The only downside being that I believe as of right now your only install option is compiling from source, or get it by running Garuda Linux. Not a big deal, but obviously less convenient than a binary or flatpak.
