    Vivaldi is what I use. uBlock works fine with it. I have no issues with content loading or anything weird. I just describe it as "chrome, but if someone actually cared about the UI…

    Adblock. You can selectively block elements from sites. I've blocked shorts from it and honestly forgot how annoying it was until these comments. Just right click, block element, p…

    As someone with decades of search engine experience, it's mainly knowing key words and exact phrases to use as well as excludes to filter out garbage. It's a bit hard to teach/expl…

    I enjoy traveling a lot. Specifically traveling. Not arriving and staying somewhere, not vacationing, not sight seeing. Traveling has always been a fun experience to me. The road t…

    My goal of the cameras, which my neighbours know about, is not protecting me. It's protecting us. I point cameras at their houses, at their doors & driveways from my property. Why?…

    Most pet owners are well aware of the info in these articles. It's obvious my cat can think, learn, remember, and recall. When she wants attention, she comes to me, pats her paw ag…
