webapp-manager VS Pi-hole

I've noticed this too. 100% CPU usage, laptop temperature skyrockets and fans kick on whenever I'm on the ChatGPT website.

I believe I've found a solution. I'm on Linux Mint, I'm using Firefox. If I export chatGPT to a web app using Linux Mint's webapp-manager, the problem goes away. What's strange here is that this should be using same profile and version of Firefox as my actual browser. Maybe it's an extension causing an issue, but I only have ublock origin, tampermonkey, firefox translation which is an official addon, and multi-account container which is also an official addon.

Surprised no one mentioned Linux Mint's Webapp Manager:

https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager

Should be in more distros. Allows some basic tweaking of profiles and supports more than just Firefox (unfortunately not qutebrowser, though).

I can recommend webapp manager: https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager

This program, as it runs in a browser tab, doesn't run exclusively on linux. Linux users, however, can play the game using Web App

You can see the implementation at: https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager/blob/master/usr/lib/webapp-manager/common.py

This is something that I really struggled with some time ago, but I finally managed to solve. Try out WebApp Manager, it's a fork of ICE, a previous version which also worked. It takes care of everything, even the WM_CLASS attribute needed to associate different windows of each PWA together but separated from the browser window. This completely changed the way I use my PC, nowadays I have more PWAs opened that desktop programs.

Webapps are basically just shortcuts that launch the browser with no navigation bar - so it's possible to create them with something like https://github.com/linuxmint/webapp-manager

Si te preguntas, ¿por qué no usar Adguard o Pihole? 🤔

This is an overreaction, almost to the point of absurdity.

Risks inherent to pipe installers are well understood by many. Using your logic, we should abandon Homebrew [1] (>38k stars on GitHub), PiHole [2] (>46k stars on GitHub), Chef [3], RVM [4], and countless other open source projects that use one-step automated installers (by piping to bash).

A more reasonable response would be to coordinate with the developers to update the docs to provide alternative installation methods, rather than throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

Pi-hole to block ads and tracking for my less technically savvy relatives

I ran a competing project[0] on my home network for a few years before I discovered NextDNS[1]. What I lost in performance (requests don't leave my house) I gained in portability: ALL my devices can take advantage – at home and away – and time-saved. PiHole works 90% of the time, but when it did stop working, I'd have to spend a bit of time fixing it. At $20/year, I simply couldn't compete with NextDNS.

Note: This isn't a shill for NextDNS; I love these kinds of projects and think they absolutely should exist, but NextDNS just happens to be one of those dead-simple SaaS tools that is an insanely good value.

It definitely IS an option, but at the network level.

It runs on damn near everything, and is a DNS level adblocker for the whole network.

I recently switched to Wipr [0]. It’s dead simple to use, and will auto update its filter lists in the background.

Adguard [1] is a decent free option.

I also use a Pi-hole [2] on my network.

Are you trying to build a DNS proxy (similar to Pi-hole) that intercepts DNS requests and checks for the ones that look harmful? If so, I would suggest trying to separately build a DNS client and a DNS server, before trying to integrate them together. Start with Beej's Guide to Network Programming if you need to learn the basics of sockets, and then take a look at the documents that define the DNS protocol itself (RFC1034 and RFC1035).

Setup a pi-hole.

It's definitely not as simple as installing an app on your phone, but I run a Pi-hole on my home network, and it does block ads in many games.
