If you're on Android, FF supports add-ons. If you're on an iPhone, uBlock is now supported: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ublock-origin-lite/id674534269... There's also Orion browser, but I found it to be a bit more glitchy, especially around sites like YouTube (fuck the app, I'm not watching videos there): https://orionbrowser.com/

It's not the same thing at all. Mullvad DNS blocks all ads across the system.

I've been using NextDNS [0] for a long time. It's worth the price because you can set up all kinds of different blocking profiles and have different ones on different devices, allows you to have overrides for local network items (or internals like on a Tailnet, Pangolin, Wireguard, etc) and a lot more. The ad blocking ends up working so well a lot not only are ads blocked on web pages but it works with some streaming audio ads as well as VoD that has ads injected. Highly recommend.

yeah I wouldn't be able to put food on the table if my employer didn't have exclusive license to the glue we use to stick together all that open source code we rely on. Which we now generate exclusively using AI, products of which are of unclear copyright status. Modern IP law inhibits productivity more than it helps, imo. LLMs have fundamentally changed our line of work, and they have done so by completely ignoring…

Copyright was not designed to maximize productivity. It was designed to maximize creativity and inventiveness (or, as stated in the US Constitution, the progress of science and the useful arts).

Source?

Translation: one of Mullvad’s two cofounders has donated money to Örebropartiet, a left-leaning Swedish political party that promotes strict and restrictive immigration laws.

There's no such thing as a left-leaning party that harsh on immigration. Only parties that call themselves left-leaning. You may as well speak of a capitalist party that wants to seize and redistribute the means of production.

Whoever openly spouts the concept of "remigration" [1] has no business being called anything else but far-right. > In its political program for the 2026 Swedish general election the Örebro Party writes that they want to "stop the ongoing population replacement" and make Sweden a monocultural society, rather than a multicultural one. The party also writes that this "will be a Sweden where ethnic Swedes are once again…

Is Kim Jong Un far right? Seems like a stretch. (North Korea’s immigration policies are even more restrictive than what they want.) Btw, Malcom Kyeyune, who has a podcast with the party’s founder, is a black child of an immigrant, adopts an avatar on Twitter of Kim Jong Un’s sister, and semi-ironically stans for North Korea on a regular basis.

yes, obviously he is. There is also no law of the universe that prevents a black person from interviewing a far right person or supporting a far right party.

There is no irony. The German government is proto-fascist, and has been for a while, as are several other European governments. Apparently the UK now arrests more people per capita for online speech than China does.

I would like to see your definition of fascism under which the German government is proto-fascist.

An authoritarian state that exercises oppressive power through legalistic institutions in league with a corporate oligarchy.

Up until the developers roll their host files into their app. That's why a pihole doesn't stop ads when you use the YouTube app.

Look, I still run AdGuard on my router, but it's not the same thing

Or that the Nazis are socialist because they have socialist in their name instead of it being a front name to hide their fascist and racist intentions.

Not if Quad9 is using DNSSEC, no. What's the specific threat you're envisioning? If it involves Quad9 themselves being malicious, what would DNSSEC on the forwarding prevent? This page explains how all of this works in detail: https://quad9.net/news/blog/quad9-enables-dnssec-on-all-serv...

Wait, I must be misunderstanding you, because if you're resolving off Quad9, they can definitely poison your DNSSEC-signed records. Between a stub resolver and a recursor DNSSEC collapses down to a single "yes it was signed" bit in the header. To protect yourself from an upstream resolver using DNSSEC, you need to be doing something akin to a full recursive lookup yourself. This is a flaw in the DNSSEC design and a r…

I don't know the details but knot-resolver asks for DS records of the domain being looked up when forwarding to avoid needing to do a full recursive lookup to validate DNSSEC. As I recall from what I've read this works almost everywhere, including Quad9, but not Google DNS due to a bug that they claim to have identified three years ago but haven't fixed. But as I understand it this is not how recursive resolvers validate so it is extra data that the forwarding server needs to request and cache.

which shows how thoroughly they've been subverted by their purported enemy. siding with the capital on its quest to drive the wages down and the rents up will rightfully be their doom. no amount of progressive signaling can make up for that betrayal. the age of unprecedented prosperity is almost over in the west, and the modern left will perish with it.

is there a single party in Europe campaigning on the promise of more immigration, I wonder? if so, how do they fare? :)

Calling Kim Jong Un “far right” is a special level of ultra-left idiocy. I’m guessing you consider Marx a “moderate” then.
