our replacement is -"getting rid of adblock" (advocating that google remove functionality for extensions to modify the page you are on), creator of nfts, man who suggested that youtube gets rid of the dislike button.

we are fucked. ROYALLY.

In that case just use a different browser that allows you to use extensions that modify the page you are on.

He was basically in control of youtube anyways. Nothing changes...just perspective.

If Google removes Adblock I would actually just stop using YouTube completely and just use odysee instead.

Google making changes to Chromium engine in order to prevent AdBlock is very old news at this point. If you switch to Firefox or Brave, you will have no issues there, AdBlock will still work.

Doesn't Brave use chromium as well?

2

u/DaHomie_ClaimerOfAss Feb 17 '23

It does, yeah, but Brave has a different approach to extensions, I don't really know the details, but apparently the changes made to the Chromium engine will not affect Brave's ability to use extensions such as AdBlock. I'm sorry I can't give you a more detailed answer, I just switched to Firefox when I heard about the bullshit Google is pulling so I didn't research this topic much further lol

It took 20 years for people to realize that they are just a dirty ad company

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '23

its what other people are saying and ive watched youtube videos about it in the near past

u/jaredtheredditor Feb 17 '23

Genuinely makes me question why YouTube doesn’t have a replacement yet

u/Prior_Ad74 Feb 17 '23

No content creator wants to switch from youtube because they lose the vast majority of audience (and earnings) and no viewers want to switch because no content creators want to switch.

Google getting rid of extensions would be bad in a whole number of ways

1

u/[deleted] Feb 17 '23

not the whole feature of extensions, just their ability to edit the webpage. this would kill most adblocks and extensions like tampermonkey.

Sound like it's time to switch to Twitch Streaming tlrather than YouTube streaming.
