Another advertiser claimed it hasn't runs a paid ad campaign on X in years, regardless of X serving its ads to users.

          Sync is nice but I’m on ios. Currently using Avelon and it shows link previews, but only for the site.

        It still shocks me every time I encounter people browsing the internet without an ad blocker. Just why?

          How would my mom go about easily blocking YouTube ads on her iPhone?

            Install AdGuard pro and replace YouTube app with a shortcut to open YouTube in Safari. Adblockers can’t block ads in the app but can in Safari.

            She wouldn’t, that’s why she bought an iPhone, because “it just works!”.

              So then it really shouldn’t be too shocking for the person I replied to.

      How dare you. No, this one. (Really, though. It’s been a while and I wanted to see it again, happy to be of service.)

        Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/Ex2NB7JsLyA

        Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

        I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.

        Wouldn’t it have been amazing if you linked to the same video again to troll everyone, and I comment to confirm that it is the right video while the whole time it is not?

          And somehow you’re scoring downvotes.

          Are the bots offended and downvoting now?
