A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If you have the Brave Browser installed on your Windows devices, then you may also have Brave VPN services installed on the machine. Brave installs these services without user consent on Windows devices.

More reason to ditch the crypto bro browser.

I'm considering it, but how does thorium handle Google's recent Web manifest updates that break true ad blockers like uBlock origin?

I've been pretty happy with the customizability of librefox with the userchrome.css and ublock still works with YouTube.

Well, you have two options. The same developer of thorium does have a Firefox one and it's called mercury. Blazing fast, too. Or you can install adblock detection bypass extension on thorium. It is an extension that's made to work with chrome alongside ublock origin to bypass YouTube adblock detection. In fact, I literally just ran into that issue today and the other extension fixed it.
