AdGuard does more than DNS blocking. It strips ads from the response content.

I’ve really been enjoying Vivaldi. It’s also Chromium-based. It’s easy to customize and it has really good tab management. You can group tabs into workspaces, open split panes, and – this one I really appreciate – you can stack tabs by domain. Added bonus is that the company behind it, Vivaldi Technologies, is Norwegian, which ticks the ‘shop European’ box for me.
As for ad blocking, the shittiness of manifest v3 made me look at options outside the browser rather than rely on extensions. These days I pass all my traffic through adguard, which filters out ads from the request responses. All in all this has been a positive step, because now I can play around with any browser without ever seeing ads.
On an emotional level agree completely. But anyone who can admit they made a mistake, deserves a bridge back, even if the mistake was something they received ample warning about and even though their motivation for making the mistake stemmed from the worst of human nature… and even though their reason for regretting the mistake is because it’s now affecting them personally—
Okay, really need to force myself to believe these people deserve their bridge back
To the extent that the billboard never existed while the image implies it did – sure.
I love the term ‘slop’. It’s one of my favorite new words along with ‘nontent’.
But this, to me, isn’t that. I think of slop as ‘unrequested, unconvincing, lazy, and lifeless’. In short, ineffective and unwelcome.
I feel like this meme gets the message across. It’s not great, but it’s not terrible. The AI tells are subtle enough: the multi lane pileup in the background and some poor small size text rendering.
Not sure why I felt the need to write this. Guess I’m of the opinion that just because something is AI-generated doesn’t mean it should be discounted immediately, unless it really feels like zero effort went into it. Have a nice day!
Gotta say, it’s kind of a bummer to be downvoted for sharing my own experience. Are those ‘disagree’ or ‘doesn’t contribute to discussion’ votes?
