Commenting to save for later
/me Sad no save KBin noises
kbin seems like a great idea but the execution is meh. There are so many unnecessary things going on but simple things like collapsible comments and bookmarks are missing. You have to go to a post to view the links being posted. The interface also leaves a 2000s forum design vibes, with the random threads, users, communities in the sidebar. That’s just wasting resources. Microblogs are included from mastodon, but if you want to microblog from with, they become threads.
Lemmy has come a long way, however kbin doesn’t seem like it’s changing all that much. I know it’s still in beta, so I keep an eye out. Hopefully, it’ll be more customizable in the future.
watched a free movie on yt for the first time in a couple months last thursday. i knew about the new war on adblockers, so i had updated ublock origin’s filter list cache first.
worked fine no ads, even got 1080p, which i rarely ever see for the ‘legit’ mainstream tv shows and movies they have.
even got 1080p
What’s up with that by the way? I constantly watch videos in 720p that advertise 4K in the title.
Can you choose 4K from the little gear icon in the bottom right corner of the player?
Not trying to defend YouTube, but I think they align video quality to network speed so you can watch without buffering.
No, I can’t manually set hit higher either
the big content providers and studios often don’t allow a higher bitrate or resolution in a third-party (to the os its on) browser… i hardly ever see 1080p available on that free stuff on yt.
I don’t think that applies to content that doesn’t have DRM, and except music videos generally none has.
I don’t know about the youtube interface because I haven’t used in it a long time, but there’s no problem with it through piped and invidious.
I think they will offer higher bitrates if you use chrome instead of firefox
It seems really inconsitent though. On some videos I have the option and sometimes not.
Purge your filters and redownload. It’s a problem on your end.
Works like a charm.
Still working for me. The second it stops I’m out of there.
I installed freetube in preparation of this, haven’t used youtube itself all week either freetube or invidious and both work well for now, would recommend both if you’re open to them
I’ve been doing the same! Freetube works quite well
deleted by creator
I believe its a yt premium feature
Go to “Filter Lists” and Purge All Caches. That may help.
I did that and it worked! Thank you!!!
np
I use Librewolf (Firefox fork with enabled protections against trackers and spyware) with uBlock origin. And I had no issues so far with youtube.
P.S. Also, couldn’t remember the last time I saw “please turn off adblock” nagging on random websites… or an ad…
Holy shit you scared me, everything works for me on librewolf
I use freetube
Does it have a function to import your current subscriptions?
Yes, you can download your google data, and import the subscriptions. You don’t need an account and sponsorblock is also available.
I’m using these. YouTube still works, but I haven’t used the ‘Home’ tab since the nag screen about turning watch history on. I won’t. My subs still work fine. I’m in the process of manually building my list in https://freetubeapp.io/ (can’t get the import to work)
I’d ditch AdBlock Plus. uBlock origin is better in every regard and there’s no acceptable ads bullshit:
I would also remove DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. It is redundant if you are using uBlock Origin.
Mine is working fine but Sabine Hossenfelder made a pro-capitalism video that ignores the deterioration of the global market in the 20th century. Can someone send her a bugfix?
Sir this a is a community about firefox
That part is working. Yes. Good job!
Using adblock is like sending people to death camps. You’re literally worse than Hitler to the ads.
Removed by mod
Use invidious
Google also rate limiting some Invidious instances.
I haven’t had an issue. Anyway if you have a problem you can switch instances
Still works for me on mobile and desktop.
How’s it with you guys ?
Still working for me
I’ve had a few times where ads somehow appear with audio but no video.
