i use the hosts file. No website can block that lol. The ad place holders are either gone or says cant connect.

If anyone wants the file let me know. I created it myself from looking at a sites code to get the ad urls..

Yeah but for example some places might display it as some kind of connection error, and what you really want is for it to seem like it isn't there.
That doesn't bother me at all.

Ad-blockers have become very popular as sites are often uncomfortable to view with ads.
I actually have GBATemp whitelisted because I want to support the site.
I'm using NanoAdblocker with a lot of additional filter lists. It's a modified version of uBlock.
The only reason I'm using NanoAdblocker and not uBlock is that NanoAdblocker can bypass a lot of sites that would normally detect your ad-blocker.
What ad-blocker are you using? Do you have any peculiar filter lists?
I use ABP with normal filters and the extension icon shows no ads on gbatemp

Im surprised no one has mentioned that firefox just took a huge dump.

Just the other day, Firefox let it's Certificate expire, ALL add-ons, extensions, and themes have moved to "legacy"
meaning nothing is supported for firefox anymore.. everything i click on says connection error, failed to install or w/e.

I don't get why they let the certificate expire..

is anyone else experiencing this?

Install the update issued yesterday by Mozilla. It fixes everything.

    I want a 120hz 4k tv but crazy how more expensive the 120hz over the 60hz are. Or even more crazy is the price of 8k's.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    No real point since movies are 30fps
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Not a big movie buff, more of a gamer tbh. And Series X is 120hz 8k ready, but yea only 120hz 4k games out right now, but thinking of in the future.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Mostly why you never see TV manufacturers going post 60hz
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I only watch tv when i goto bed, it puts me to sleep, and I have a nas drive filled w my fav shows so i can watch them in order, commercial free. I usually watch Married w Children, or South Park

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Damn, only $2.06 and free shipping. Gotta cost more for them to ship than $2.06
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I got my Dad a firestick for Xmas and showed him those 3rd party sites on Kodi, he loves it, all he watches anymore. He said he has got 3 letters from AT&T already about pirating, but he says f them, let them shut my internet off (He wants out of his AT&T contract anyways)
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just use a VPN, even give him my login and password so can use it also, and he refuses, he's funny.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I had to find and get him an old style flip phone even without text, cause thats what he wanted. No text, no internet, only phone calls. Old, old school.
