I remember "gimpshop" being a thing at one point

Well it might be a different project entirely, but PhotoGIMP is still a thing.

I really do wonder why more people aren't using Delta Chat.

Anyway. I remember using Session for a few months a couple of years ago. Something about the interface was bugging me. It felt sluggish.

Sideload uYou+ or set up Yattee. If you don't know how to do any of those things, look into DNS based ad-filtering like ControlD and install Video Lite. Or skip the DNS part and only install Video Lite, but you'll see in-app ads unless you pay the $12/y subscription.

Obviously not.

If you're saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I'm sorry but I wouldn't know. Not because I didn't try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.

Edit: cointelegraph, not "cointelegram."

Because it isn't secure at all?

People suggesting DNS filtering are missing the point. Yes, people should do it, but for cosmetic stuff you need a browser extension.

Anyway. I used to use Adguard. Like you, I noticed how slow it was making Safari. Worse, sometimes it simply wouldn't work even though it was supposedly active.

I gave Ghostery a try. It worked. No slowdowns or anything. Then I settled for Wipr. You can't add custom lists to it, but at least it works as intended and doesn't seem to slow down Safari.

I only ditched Ghostery because I don't exactly trust them. Otherwise it was working perfectly, too.

PS: I am obviously also using a custom DNS server. I'm a ControlD customer.

Or uYou+, if you're in the know. Otherwise Video Lite + filtering ads at the DNS level also works (if you really want a dedicated app).

"It's already installed... as a Snap package."

Not to throw shades or anything, but it released in a very buggy state. I would never have put money on Bean at this stage of development, and worst of all the sale was time limited, putting me off even more.

You know, red flags and all that. I'm not saying Bean won't end up being a great app, but when you give money to get into an Alpha well, you get what you paid for.

I'm guessing Lemmy is now converting GIFs to WEBMs to save space, then.

Trouble is, I just tried it on my end and yeah, Safari won't open it. VLC can, however. I guess it means Lemmy apps will need to add a webm library now.

Edit: just saw your edit. I'm mentioning Safari because clearly Voyager was trying to open the webm using the in-app browser and not natively. Meaning Voyager doesn't know how to deal with this format.

The OP is TMNT, not Battletoads. Different green guys.

Someone broke street date. Now if you don't mind, I'll go play for a bit :-)
