These are annoying as heck but I don’t consider them ads at all. Sure they probably launch some ad riddled page, but no direct ads in windows.
They can all be turned off and I am a bit annoyed that our desktop team hasn’t turned them off in our org’s standard images. I cringe anytime I have to remote in to troubleshoot with a user. Thankfully it isn’t very often.
Pi Hole for me blocked some YT ads but not all. YMMV based on the block list you use. I didn’t get very aggressive but still killed most page ads.
I’m currently in a three month trial due to the value (music streaming and ad free you tube), but coming from Pandora YT Music’s radio algorithm sucks sooooo bad. One of my first plays was a foo fighters album and now all the stations I create have alt/grunge in them. It’s making it really hard to consider staying.
If you’re happy with coverage, check out Google Fi. Unlimited for $20 a line (for 4+ lines).
To be honest, I’m surprised they kept the ‘uncarrier’ image for so long. This was bound to happen, especially after the sprint merger was approved. I really feel T-Mobile pushed the big two to make changes to compete and now all I fear all three will go back to the old ways.
I agree. Honestly anytime I’ve resorted to having to use Google for something I feel the results are even worse than DDG.
I’ll second this. I was hesitant to watch it but my boss kept raving about it and I was hooked after the second episode. I really hope the strikes don’t turn S2 into a burning pile of garbage.
This one hits a little close to home as someone who loves math but hated calculus.
How do communication apps get away with E2E in the US then? Is there a backdoor that allow for companies to comply or does law enforcement seek alternative means of obtaining the information?
Does a burrito start as a calzone turn into quiche then finish life as a taco?
