Being elected is now "taking power". Ok, commie.

The overwhelmingly left leaning reddit, which practically never had any even right leaning headline upvoted to /r/all (besides The Donald, when it existed) are mostly Nazis...

If r/politics are Nazis, then Mao must be a centrist by your standards. Just how deluded are you?

Holy shit, right? Is lemmy populated by children?

"Hey let's give the Taliban 4 billion USD. That will surely fix the country"

Absolute insanity. I feel like I'm in the bizzaro world.

I left Reddit to get away from the constant USA Defaultsm nonsense...

This is possibly the most delusional take in the entire thread. If you thought that reddit, where people take every opportunity to shit on America somehow has constant "USA Defaultism". You have to be a Stalin worshipping commie to even begin thinking that.

Did you form that opinion from social media? Because there are certainly plenty of Democrats who were upset over masks, but you would never see it on Reddit. Though Republicans are probably more likely than Democrats to be against masking, as I vaguely recall from some polls on covid.

In what non private residence enclosed places are you alone? I can't think of any. Are you talking about hotels or... Because yea that would be ridiculous. But also, since you're alone it's not like anyone can enforce the mandate or even know you're not following it.

They are capable of detecting it because they aren't putting much effort into being undetectable. If there was a need, uBlock Origin itself could be made entirely undetectable.

Of course the YouTube script running in your browser will be able to detect changes made to the page and request blocking. However, the said script can be modified by a different extension to either receive incorrect data about blocked requests and page information, or to send a fabricated result back to the server. Google can react to it by modifying the script, and the extension would need to adapt accordingly. It's a game of cat and mouse.

If there was a need, we could have YouTube running in an entirely clean headless browser with no adblockers, while the real browser we use pulls data from it and strips out the ads.

Ultimately, currently we have the last word on what happens on our end. Unfortunately, Google's webDRM, pushed by traitors to humanity Ben Wiser, Borbala Benko, Philipp Pfeiffenberge and Sergey Kataev, is trying to change that.

I like watching YouTube on my android TV and I can't use ad blocker there.

Yes you can.

it actually shocks me when I see someone open YouTube and an ad pops up it feels weird

Same but I haven't been giving Google money so they can further ruin the internet.

Wasn't it the blahaj admin who defederated from some popular instance because it had an "adorable porn" community, claiming that contained child abuse content. Nevermind that a subreddit with the same name has existed for like a decade. And when proven wrong they doubled down and never admitted falsely accusing people of serious crimes.
