I personally switched to Floorp on my desktop/laptop systems. And Waterfox on mobile (Android).

Well you said:

but that’s the best that can be done on chrome

And I think the best use of such a plugin is actually to use it on Firefox. Since Firefox (or Firefox forks) still support Manifest v2. So actually ad-blocks on Chrome are worse, because Google created Manifest v3, which sounds newer… but it ACTUALLY worse. Manifest v3 basically disallow developer to block ads effectively. Just in the name of kugh kugh ‘privacy’ or ‘security’… Don’t get fooled by Google here!!

SO please do not use Google Chrome, they are killing ad-blockers by the introduction of Manifest v3. More info: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-chrome-manifest-v3-ad-blockers/

Fork of Firefox

Not my problem xd

uh… no… The add-on was also developed for Firefox, which still have Manifest V2. Because of the headache of Mozilla, Hill decided to stop development for Mozilla and only release the latest (signed) add-on via github, without further updates. The developer just makes a statement that it’s getting so worse to develop for Firefox that he just doesn’t do it anymore.

THe developer also don’t want to develop uBLock Origin Lite. Mozilla is sucking all energy out of people.

I’m very happy that I moved to Floorp.

You are 100% correct!

When governments are corrupt; rebellion is the same as criminal, because you are going against the government. That is the whole problem.

It’s not my app.

yea correct. This app seems to be interacting with Invidious. Keep in mind that Google is changing their videos to embed ads soon in their video streams.

Also it’s NOT an Electron app haha.

This app is written in Rust and freetube is written in JS. But what is wrong with alternatives? https://rustytube.rs/

Your files seem to be broken or not found.

Proton Mail?

I’m afraid the power needs for AI will also not decrease. Even if individual models become more efficient and the hardware become more AI optimized. The next logical step is to run even more if those AIs as agents and creating huge chain of thoughts… So no, ai power usage will increase.

Try Tor maybe? Although it’s not very fast…

Only they called it “estimates”

Well… the numbers were from Wired: https://wired.me/science/energy/ai-vs-bitcoin-mining-energy/

ow nevermind, bitcoin mining alone is consuming 112.31 TWh annually (it’s a guess). While AI is using 29.2 TWh annually (also a guess).
