If you don’t have this kit you will be bombarded to Temu’s ads

I’d actually recommend consent-o-matic instead of IDCAC. It actually selects the minimum concent for you instead of just hiding it.
EDIT: Ignore my blind confidence. CAD is (mostly) broken in recent FF versions. (See ivn’s reply to this post).
Consent-o-Matic with Cookie Auto Delete and Firefox’s Multi-Account Container tabs covers it all nicely for me.
Cookie banners get handled, cookies I don’t explicitly want to keep automatically disappear when I leave the site/close the tab, and those I do want to keep can be given their own containers to keep them separated.
I use uBlock Origin’s picker mode instead. It lets you select which element you want block. It works on other annoying notices, popus and annoying stuff not just cookie notices
DONT use the “I Don’t Care About Cookies” plugin. It was sold to Avast. The same company that stole users information and sold it ON A PRIVACY PRODUCT illegally for years causing them to get sued for 16 million. (slap on the wrist tbh)

UBO can block YT ads, no need to use a seperate ad blocker for YT
Sponsorblock to auto skip sponsor segments, or even non music parts of music on YouTube. Or interaction reminders, or end credits, etc can make it a little bit how you want it

Sigh
Phone settings > Private DNS > set DNS provider host name to dns.adguard-dns.com.
Problem solved.
Very easy for a majority of people.
As an alternative, for those who want to dive in or have more control: Self host PiHole or AdGuard Home DNS. Either use WireGuard VPN and set the DNS manually, or setup a DoT/DoH service. Either way works.

Try out boost (for Lemmy), and if you like it there’s a small one time payment option to support the Dev and remove ads
Oh for sure. Sync offers that as well, I just haven’t taken it up yet.
I’m not saying my setup is any better, but it currently looks like this:
- Firefox
- UBO
- SponsorBlock
- Return YouTube Dislikes
- DeArrow
- Archive.ph
I’m open to suggestions if anybody knows any better alternatives. I’ve had mixed luck with services that filter out YouTube’s crap.
Another recommendation for YT:
It is Community-Based. Ppl (like you) mark timecodes from sponsor ads and if toggled on those will be skipped. You can whitelist channels as well if you want to.
150% better YT-experience!

Dear god. My inner 90’s kid wants this as a browser.

Anyone know if there is a proper solution to block ads on twitch? ublock doesn’t work for me.
try something from the scripts section on here:
https://github.com/pixeltris/TwitchAdSolutions?tab=readme-ov-fileA note: Some days it will not work and ads will go through. Don’t panic. You only need to wait until the next day at most for this to get patched though. They’ve very good at keeping up!
Anything on Pixeltris’ TwitchAdSolutions should work. I use the ublock filter and that works great.
I use one that works 90% of the time. I can’t remember the exact name so I’ll check when I get home but it’s something like “Purple Adblocker”.
VPN set to a country that doesn’t get served ads.
Invidious is it effectively dead
Who knows if they can actually gnd a workaround this time. They themselves where unsure about it.
Install Freetube (which has sponsorblock already), then get the FreeTube redirect addon
What’s ctrl-p do?
there’s some good shit in these comments that I need to come back to later.
