Yes, you can use Canta[1]. When you select an app, it also provides you with some info (sometimes a bit vague) about what the app does. I used it to debloat my Oppo X9 Pro.
I will check what particular settings I have for AdGuard when I get back home this evening. I don't recall anything particularly hairy but it has been a few years.
There‘s a checkbox called “Enhanced Protection” (name might vary, I have the app in another language) that specifically says it’s for stuff like YouTube
Safari with the uBlock Origin Lite extension works well for me - even with "Web page Contents and Browsing History" permission set to 'Deny' for all websites.
Firefox with uBlock Origin has blocked YouTube ads just fine on Android for years, and Google kept paying. uBlock Origin doesn't actually get installed by default on Firefox Mobile, but I'd wager that it effectively does.
It doesn’t cost cost google money to show that content. (It does cost someone else who google would be giving a cut of the ad revenue)
YouTube videos actually have some real world disk space, bandwidth, etc costs just to show so if google doesn’t get to show an ad they lose money instead of an opportunity to make money.
I'm regularly surprised that people are willing to block YouTube ads. I know that Google gets that advertising money too, but you're also blocking revenue that the channel owner would otherwise get. I suppose it might depend what you're watching, but most YouTubers aren't big business, they're just individuals.
YouTube Premium is one of the few subscriptions I am completely happy to pay.
It doesn't have to go through Google. Lots of us support the people they follow through patreon et al, I don't need to make the gigacorp even richer than it is. They have enough.
Why do these creators use YouTube then? Why cant they host it on s3 and the have you directly compensate? Surely the creator is getting some value from YouTube and YT expects to be compensated for that?
> Surely the creator is getting some value from YouTube and YT expects to be compensated for that?
I'd imagine Google would start charging for videos that don't make enough money or heavily deprioritize them from discovery. That seems like a problem they could solve if they wanted to.
Isnt that part of the deal of uploading to YouTube? YouTube promises distribution and in return they show ads to make up for lost {storage,bandwidth} etc.
I'm surprised that YouTube doesnt ask $100 per year and then also show ads. Like App Store (which requires "developer fee" for doing far less)
I inherently disagree with the ad model of business. Intentionally worsening a product with ads to convince people to pay to remove them is just rewarding them for enshitification.
So on that front I'd prefer YouTube go out of business so that something like Nebula can take its place. Or the only videos left at\re the ones doing it as a hobby and not as a job.
A heavy way that, as typically used, goes against the grain of the web, particularly for document-centric sites. For example, on the Oxide RFD site, the RFD links don't do a real browser page load, but use JavaScript to fetch the new content and update the page in-place. This breaks the experience of screen-reader users unless the site or framework does some kind of workaround (which, somewhat to my surprise, the Oxide RFD site doesn't do), and even then, it doesn't match the experience of doing a real transition between pages with a screen reader. For something like the Oxide RFD site, I'd be much more inclined to use something like Astro or Marko, with minimal client-side JavaScript and no SPA-style navigation.
Why shouldn't a doc system use React? One word answers consisting of the word bloat are not going to be accepted, please use your words and be specific. The router sucks, the language is ass, give details!
Atuin is a venture‑backed product, while zhist is like 1k lines of Go code you could probably read in one sitting.
I tried Atuin before and liked it, but the idea of a background service sending my command history to servers I don't control never sat well with me. A small boring tool that runs locally doesn't care about revenue nor will have to sunset any feature hehe
Atuin works with several shells, zhist only supports zsh because that's what I use. Both Atuin and zhist record each command together with its working directory and exit status. They both offer global and per‑directory modes. If I remember correctly, Atuin did not provide a quick way to delete an entry, whereas zhist assigns Ctrl‑D for that purpose (or Ctrl+X if you want to remove all occurrences of that command). Atuin also records how long each command ran, zhist does not but it will in the next release. Under the hood, Atuin uses SQLite, runs a daemon, and uses a sync protocol. zhist is a single binary that writes to a flat JSON file, with no service and no sync feature. With zhist, if you want to sync your history to another machine, you'd have to rsync the JSON file.
It replaces the default Zsh history functionality. It adds fuzzy searching, tracks the command's exit code and the directory it was launched from. There's a short demo video in the README.
Thanks. I also thought of skipping fzf, but it's old, battle‑tested, and does one thing exceptionally well. I doubt I could implement something better myself. The current implementation can handle hundreds of thousands of commands relatively fast (under 50 ms on my machine).
It seems to work fine here. Just be aware that you need to go into the site settings and re‑enable Old Reddit (even if it’s already enabled, you have to toggle it again). They did that some time ago, and it doesn't "remember" your preference if you use a fresh browser session.
