6·4 months agoI’ve had the extension for a years and basically forgot about it but boy was it eye opening to see all the blocked requests it throws on adguard home. Not as bad as microsoft trying phone home but it’s noticeable. (I’ve since removed it)
251·4 months agoNot sure if it’d work on Netflix but my wife were pleasantly surprised to A&E and History apps on our apple tv suddenly forgetting how to do ads after I set up adguard home with a few extra filter lists…I did have to ok a few things the list blocked. But the apps work and seem to be adless, at least for now.
the better to farm your information to advertise too you and try to tie you in to more subscriptions.
Adguard, blocks most everything. Add their dns/adguard home on it and it’s pretty solid.
You can also use Dropbox, Box, OneDrive, iCloud, etc to send files back and forth.
3·6 months agoThat is both hilarious, amazing, and messed up 🤣
Where they lose totally though is the off service data harvesting that isn’t even remotely “implied okay”
On meta’s while it is flagrant screw you, they may have a valid argument. Human beings don’t actually need any kind of social media to survive, ergo it is a convenience or luxury that could be charged for.
I’m certainly not agreeing with them, but they may be banking on that style argument and their ungodly amount of money to fight it.
Yes, yes they do. My wife’s phone does this all the time, Talk about something, even random or sometimes from a tv show. In minutes she has instagram or youtube ads about the very thing.
Everyone wants a piece of the AI pie…
Oh I was referring to for profit. Should have specified. I’m used to using that when meta screws over their users.
If it’s free online, you are the product
21·6 months agoI disagree, they learned not to have it, drop it, and re add it months later. What they failed to learn is the problem was also short of some cross play requirements, people on pc don’t want yet another account requirement.
Could these please stop dropping more ads on the ui🙄. That and forced copilot make loath using windows.
So they have no plans…(They have how many games? short of trying an mmo or switching it up 1st/3d person shooter they pretty much know how to make a mega man game)
