Adblocking People and Non-Adblocking People Experience a Different Web

This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on news.ycombinator.com

Our great sponsors
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • vanced-website-v2

    Source Code of the Vanced Website

  • If you're on Android, try out https://vancedapp.com/ - it's an "Advanced" YouTube player, but they removed the "Ad"s (get it?)

    Also, there's an option to enable SponsorBlock, which can automatically skip over ads, introductions, etc. that are part of the original video.

    Vanced and Firefox's addons are two of the main things keeping me off of iOS.

  • SmartTube

    SmartTube - an advanced player for set-top boxes and tvs running Android OS

  • I've been using and loving this: https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • privacybadger

    Privacy Badger is a browser extension that automatically learns to block invisible trackers.

  • I find the EFF Privacy Badger to be a nice compromise: https://privacybadger.org/

  • invidious-updater

    Automatic install and update script for Invidious

  • There is also alternative youtube front ends that don't have ads, notably Invidious[0], and work in cases where the browser doesn't have or can't support extensions such as ad blockers. For anyone interested I run my own instance that is retro tech themed[1], and there is a public instance list with more instances[2].

  • blokada

    The official repo for Blokada apps.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
