Well, everybody is entitled to a own opinion but I highly recommend that Internet Historian video because you certainly don't seem to understand the degree of garbage they did with Fallout 76, I am definitely happy they don't force there launcher anymore tho!

I don't see how you would protect yourself in that scenario, you seem to think they just let it happen on purpose which certainly wasn't the case, America is just a lot more powerful than any third world country. I do agree that the rich will always fight any attempt because they loose power and money from such a move and as soon as you interfer with imperialistic interests you are fucked byond recovery anyway.

Yea, just leave the CSAM till someone reports it, great solution!

If Google doesn't find a way to end it, they continue to break third party frontends in waves but the community will certainly fight them as long as possible so I doubt that it's going to happen soon, Nitter is back online too and Libreddit is on it's way to be so it's not that easy!

Importing other species always has consequences and is almost never a good idea, I understand the way of thinking but that was sarcasm ;)

Our Families Windows XP Laptop had a RAM to storage feature that essentially did the same. I think Windows killed it off but if I had to guess it's just not a good idea to avoid rebooting properly so I really can't see the use for this.

I copy pasted that because I have two basically identical arguments rn, just wanted to add that I do have a ad blocker but that doesn't work everywhere ads are shown, especially IRL...

It's not about smart or stupid, ads use various mechanisms to manipulate you and noone is completely immune to them, when you spend your money it's too late already because you have bias no matter how slight it is and once you are presented with two idendically good products that bias starts to show. Here is a great German video on the topic, I don't know if the subtitles are usable but it's far too big and complex to explain in a single comment and I don't care to try rn: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etkeGVNRVYA

Am I glad that I just switched instance anyway, I only subscribed to one of those previously but now I will subscribe to all three just because I can!

Ublock Origin, Privacy Badger, LocalCDN, Multi Account Container and Dark Reader.

Great choice, maybe I will have the money one day but at least I know what I would spend it on!

Squeeze ut all in one pckage so people have a hard time saying no because they would deny Ukraine help...

The main purpose of PWAs is not to remove the browser toolbar but rather cache most of the website to improve speed and reduce data usage if I am not wrong, there are external tools to get rid of the toolbar but Firefox dropped the PWA spec which includes a lot more than just that.
