It's better to silo things that require you to install an extension on browsers into a different app. Extensions alter browser fingerprints. So this let's you sponsorblock and AdBlock YouTube without worrying about fingerprints on all other sites

Also has a nice way to handle subscriptions without login

I mean, you really should be using an ad-blocker on the rest of the web too.

[–] marcie@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yes, but ideally via something built into the browser, not an extension

ublock is ubiquitous enough that it should be fine (comes pre-installed on Librewolf, Mullvad Browser, Ironfox, etc)

The issue with it is how it operates in userspace and how any settings alterations makes the print unique

[–] hirihit640@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

doesn't the entire browser run in userspace? Also settings alterations make any print unique, even built-in adblockers
