Project mention: Mobile Ad Blocker Will No Longer Stop YouTube's Ads | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-04-16
Don't use Youtube without going through a proxy like Invidious [1] or Newpipe
Don't use {site} Search without going through a proxy like SearxNG [2]
Don't use TwiXXer without going through a proxy like Nitter - this has gotten more difficult lately but it still works as long as you feed the daemon some registered accounts. Video does not work at the moment but that seems to be fixable.
Don't use Reddit without going through a proxy like libreddit [4]
Start noticing the pattern? Maybe it is time to start producing promotional posters:
The only thing to come between you and ADS could be a proxy / ADS. I'ts just not worth the risk
ADS / New rules for a sane net / Sane net protects you, your partner and your community
A proxy here and a filter there, ADS nowhere
The more you tighten your grip, ${site}, the more viewers will slip through your fingers

Infinity (reddit client) If you use reddit a lot this app offers you the most seamless experience You can customize your feed with filters, themes and more to tailor your reading experience No ads! What I like most is the "Hide Read Posts" which allows you to easily check new posts (no infinite scrolling anymore)

Project mention: Ask HN: Are there web-of-trust style online communities? | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-01-09
> you don't need any keys for trust, you can imagine a centralized system ...
I guess part of the essence of what I was trying to describe was that it's non-centralized. Otherwise, you have to trust some entity to unilaterally behave well, now and forever. But fair point; something like this could be implemented in someone else's walled garden. I wouldn't trust it though :p
Since you mentioned JS overlays... One thing that is somewhat similar is using RES[1] on reddit. When you upvote/downvote a person's post, it keeps track of a total +/- count for each username, and displays it next to it in the UI. This isn't quite trust, but it is a kind of "my opinion of this user, gathered over time" overlay... There's also no notion of sharing this info with others.
