Are you talking about Defender? Because that's not the OS and can be disabled, easily. Don't you get computer lessons in high school these days?
I get annoyed when people are surprised Microsoft improved security over XP after so much shit was put on Microsoft for having 300 million hacked Chinese XP users. They were targeted as potentially causing the end of the Internet and then naive 14 year olds whine something was done about it. FFS
As long as you are using opensource software (OS, Browser, ...), there always will be ways to bypass everything. The only problem is frequency of changing the method. If they change the way they detect adblock every day then it will become so hard to keep adblocks feasible.
No. They can tell an ad blocker is used because you don't get/download a resource (I.e, hidden pixels) that you would have without an ad blocker. They simply don't allow the desired content to be loaded unless they can see you also downloaded a test resource.
Edit: I might have misunderstood and that's what you meant. If "computer" was the server and not the client like I thought you both were saying.
You're thinking like 2010 basic. It's been a cat and mouse game forever and advanced much beyond simple shit.
I've never used Spotify but YT Music does have playlists and auto-play, start a radio, etc.
My biggest gripe with it is that it does not segregate music from video playlists. I have dozens of play lists so scrolling through everything is a pain. I think I'm going to prepend 🎶 or something to the start of music playlists so they sort together.
I think PiHole was more successful when ads came from third-party or at least a separate server. When everything comes from cdn.facebook.com, it's hard to know what to block.
Oh it's simple, you block
*.facebook.com. Last I logged in was in 2011.To go the extra mile you could also block reddit, instagram, telegram, and flush the phone down the toilet a-la Richard Stallman stile. You see, the healthiness of a diet based on staple poison doesn't depend on the condiment. Personally, I still have the phone but I only trust it as a reliable paperweight. Literalllllly.

Before
A thread about a new Vultr datacenter ..
.. had to be closed because of anger towards jews
Now
A thread about YouTube and ads ..
.. @angstrom has to spend his time removing stuff about jews
Might as well just create a ”jew” sub-category
Or just have it be the main one with server stuff being ”off-topic”
Why do you care about jews so much?
Also, there was not a single world about jews in your thread, rather about Israel mate.
Hey, you posted jew stuff here, right? And it got removed?
Why would my comment about that make me care more?
I posted an image saying "shut it down", not a single word about jews.
Crazy how saying ”shut it down” would get removed
I’ll try, just to see if that’s it: ”shut it down”
right?
Weird, my comment is still up
they could bring back dislike counter in premium version I'm pretty sure many people will subscribe including me , but for now i only use ad blocker bcs i barely use youtube
Profit off of the urge for toxicity
I like it
I guess I haven't been paying much attention. If vising say a different website other than FB. In that case everything for ads would load from cdn.fb wouldn't it?
I guess it was a matter of time, before they implement this kind of system. its been constant cat and mouse game between adblockers for years. I guess enough is enough. and they are now trying to push users to get the premium subscription.
It would also help people realize the video is fake/spam or is not worth their time... I miss the dislike button...
Still wont be paying google. Adblock all the way or will just find a new video sharing platform.
I’m fine with Invidious.
I WANT IT!!!
Did not know such a thing existed. Now I'm busy deploying it on my server. Thanks!
@MannDude is running one as well, IIRC.

I'm currently paying about 3 USD/mo for family premium using Argentina pricing. Well worth the price for ones with iPhones.
Argentina is also currently having an inflation crisis so the price has been going down.
I got one up and running as well. I don't really like the UI as the video frame is very small. I preferto run the video from edge to edge. For youtube, I use the plugin "Enhancer for youtube" to expand the video. Hope to find similar for "Invidious" as well.
Thanks! Tried out this demo before setting up one for my personal use on my VM node.
Thank you for your service, sir.
Someone has to pay for my free stuff, after all.
Paid service is always needed for better experience
Thanks a lot.. this is rock!!
I never knew it existed
Someone had to say it. Around 2010-2011 no one was asking for subscriptions except FT and The Times. Now, everyone thinks we have 200 Euros a month ready and available for subscriptions, and what lovely times we are living, forced to choose between buying poultry meat at the supermarket or 10 different monthly big tech subscriptions.
Thanks but no thanks, you're drowned in money and I'm the little guy trying to make ends meet. Stick it up your shareholders arses.
