Everyone keeps saying to use ublock origin. However, there is a better way. Just use invidious.
Also that extension is malious
you can't just say there's a better way without explaining why it's better
Exactly, ublock origin is better because of the way it is, but you can't just say that about [random extension]
^(/s)
ublock origin has long before been proven to be a great extension
Nah, UbO works perfectly. I have zero QOL complaints. It literally blocks every single banner ad and video ad on every single website.
But it your still visiting a website that doesn't respect your freedom. That's why I suggested invidious
I get what you're saying. But remember - invidious is just another frontend to the same website that doesn't care about your freedom. Now you are blocking at a server, instead of blocking in your browser. If you care about freedom, then you must leave that abusive service behind.
