it seems to work on youtube so far, but that could also be due to the previous custom filters I installed months ago when yt ramped up their "no adblocker" campaign. UBO still works in the sense that all of the filters and lists you've installed are still there and functioning, you just can't update the extension. I'm still running UBO alongside UBO lite and it's working fine for now (knock on wood) until I can afford a new Windows machine.

cool! in no time at all, disposable vapes will usurp cigarette butts as the #1 form of litter across the globe! but in all seriousness, god bless this guy. hopefully his example will inspire people to be slightly less careless and slightly more cognizant of how they dispose of their waste (audience laughter turns to applause)

I've been using a chromebook for the last 4 years and it's been great for my needs (youtube, streaming, porn, etc), but I am shopping for a windows machine now because fuck google.

I guess Canada must be undeveloped, cause I've never seen one of those "expensive letters" in my mailbox

Canadian netfux can eat a massive bag of penises, all they ever do is increase their prices while removing the stuff I actually liked. I cancelled after their 3rd price increase in 18 months without adding anything of value

Microsoft already lost an anti-trust suit in 2001. It's in the article if you care to read it.

well, there's a lot wrong with me. but the only reason I use chrome is because when my last windows machine took a shit, I couldn't afford a new PC so I grabbed a chromebook for $130CAD and I was seriously impressed with how easy and fast it was to use. that was 4 years ago, and now I'm just waiting for google's hammer to drop so I can switch back to windows.

a chromebook isn't without its charms, there are features that just make sense to me that are non-existent on windows: for example, you can increase the size of everything on your screen with two fingers on your touchpad. expand to make larger, pinch to shrink it down. seems like a no-brainer for any OS, but windows lacks this feature. and when you're old af and your eyesight is for shit, this is an extremely useful tool to have available.

but if I can't block ads then it's meaningless. there are no redeeming features that could ever outweigh adblock capabilities. once that happens, I'm gone and I'll never go back to chrome. they can go fuck themselves to death if they're gonna take away UO
