[@darebrained]

I actually talked to a youtuber about sponsorblock and at least in their case it doesn't affect their income, as the companies at this point only look at the views, not at the watch time/specific watchtime within the sponsor-ad's timeframe. This is in contrast to general adblocking which actually means that the youtuber doesn't get any money from the ad the adblock removed.

[@Overqualification]

Thought this was common sense

[@John-Smlth]

@@Overqualification Common sense actually tells me that it decreases their incoeme. Sure for individual videos there's no difference, but the market is a feedback loop, and over time advertisers will pay slightly less if they notice less users use affiliate links, or even in general if they see other companies having slightly less of an effect with their advertising. This is a very data driven field, so even small changes will have small effects. Use these services if you want to, but don't think that it doesn't decrease from the money KZbinrs make.

[@Overqualification]

@@John-Smlth You would be right if they had access to replayed areas 11 months ago when the comment was posted, and even now that they do, they still pay based on views and sub count.

[@John-Smlth]

@@Overqualification The payment to an individual creator may be based on views and sub count, but the market cost for 1 view will vary based on how many people actually click through on ads. Imagine a hypothetical world where 50% of users suddenly started using this software. Existing contracts would stay the same, but as advertisers see their click through rate fall, future ad deals made will have a lower pay per view associated with them. This effect is much smaller with the usage of this software being small, but these ad companies work on precise enough data that even these real world small changes will likely have an impact. This is fairly simple supply and demand reasoning.

[@tbuk8350]

Also, plenty of sponsors have a set price range beforehand based on their average views. Most of the time, by the time you're watching the video, they'll already have been paid.

[@happygimp0]

The irony: You install a program to solve Captcha (Turing tests) because computers are better at solving Turing tests than humans. I guess now it is a reverse Turing test. I needed such a addon for a long time since i often fail this things and wasted hours.

[@zvezdan956]

@Я i always felt this is the case ever since captcha became a thing

[@senselessnothing]

captcha is a great example of useless things that have been developed for no reason but to waste people's time. If you want to test whether someone's a human there are much better ways.

[@senselessnothing]

@Я The problem is that bots are quite trivial to catch, be it because they don't use the JS that the server offers, the odd ips, the frequent attempts etc. Traditional methods solved these issues very well. I think it's just another case of solutions looking for problems. They had a fancy thing they could deploy, so they did.

[@senselessnothing]

@Я google AI = a solution problem to solve = no problem so let's invent captchas

[@EarthWalkerOne]

@@senselessnothing captchas were invented to get people to supervise machine learning. They were never intended to check for bots. They're basically a mechanical turk paywall.

i think dark reader is an essential, it dark modes all sites and it looks good on 9/10, for the ones where it looks weird you can set it to always be off on that site with one button.

[@johnnycochicken]

A useful plugin would be disabling the ability of Javascript to manipulate the clipboard. One thing I've caught a lot of sites snooping on lately is reading the contents of the clipboard, and while I can't say I've proven the concept, I'm sure this is one way they're attaching clearnet identities to TOR identities.

[@LilacMonarch]

I think ScriptSafe allows you to block clipboard access, among other things

[@camembrt]

I'd recommend Reverse Image Search by Andreas Bielawski, it's fully customizable and you can just right-click and image and use the context menu so it doesn't clutter my toolbar with another icon. I really wish there was an add-on that would automatically reject any cookies or at least hide those annoying cookies pop-ups.

[@monikafiori]

A bit late but "I don't care about cookies" hides all cookie pop-ups and has failed me only once through multiple months of usage.

[@LilacMonarch]

@@monikafiori Update on this: IDCAC has been bought by Avast and is no longer trustworthy. However it has since been forked and is called "I still don't care about cookies". FOSS model works!

[@HyphenSam]

ClearURLs breaks some sites in my experience. It doesn't have an option to disable per site, so I just uninstalled it. Also, Twitter auto-converts links to their link shortener service, so character limits don't matter for URLs. Edit: Ironically, the end part of the video is now an "interaction reminder" segment in SponsorBlock lol

[@Eric.-.]

i have been using ClearURLs for months and it never broke anything lol

[@Bonez0r]

For anyone who usually has a lot of open tabs, I recommend _Tree Style Tab._ I can't live without it anymore. Instead of having the browser tabs at the top next to each other, this addon places them vertically on the left or right side of the screen. Not only does that give you some more vertical space to display the website you're on (at the cost of some horizontal space, but with widescreen monitors that's not a problem), but you can also see a lot more tabs simultaneously, and it's easy to scroll through them. The name of the addon comes from the fact that a link opened from a parent tab opens into a child tab that's shifted a little to the right, so if you have a lot of tabs open and you open links into new tabs, it has a tree structure. The companion addon from the same author is Multiple Tab Handler. It lets you drag and drop multiple tabs or entire trees, close them, move them to a new window, etc. It's adds some convenience features but it's not required.

[@Okami4267]

Ty for telling me about this. Just started using it and I love it already. I am bad about opening a bunch of tabs so this makes it easier for me

4:54 clearURL unfortunately doesn't actually really help your privacy at all. I do think it's good for keeping your urls short, but that "tracking data" is usually saved in something like local storage, cookies, or with the actual request itself. Url arguments are just a really convenient way of quickly accessing and sending data between pages, but it doesn't stop or really do much of anything to protect your privacy. Just makes links shorter. This extension also breaks many webpages and social media sites automatically shorten urls especially by using proxy urls that they use to track data for analytical uses.

Session buddy is amazing for people who have a habbit of using 1000 tabs. It will let you save all of your open tabs under custom names and if your computer crashes or gets turned off for any reason it will automatically save them so you can return to your tabs quickly. It will also help with re-visiting tabs from a long time ago as well.
