Yes, but you don’t get your logged in feed (or at least it was that way when I tried it). That was a deal breaker for me.

Brave browser also blocks YouTube ads. I’m not advocating for it over Orion (I’m using Orion + Ublock Origin & Sponsor block), but Brave also does work.

Was it this one?

You can buy Canadian VoIP numbers from VoIP.ms

The downside to Keepass is it is not self hosted, as in it’s designed to run locally per device. Yes, you can put the database file on a network and have multiple clients from different operating systems access the database, but you will end up with collisions and database issues. Ask me how I know.

Running cross platform Keepass (and it’s various forks) is absolutely doable, but it is not as seemless as BitWarden. I’m running self hosted VaultWarden and I’m hoping to run it for a long time as it’s much easier than Keepass.

Really cool. How did you get the lenses in? Just pressure fit?

Ad blocking on your phone and TV including YT is possible BTW.

I absolutely agree about trailers though. Trailers ruin movies.

It blocks the YT ads. Watch video, cast to TV. Isn’t that what your original question was? I mentioned SmartTube in my 1st reply as it’s the best adblocked YT experience on a TV for sure, but it does require an Android based set top box or TV OS. If you are in an Apple ecosystem, use brave just for casting YT to TV.

Me either, but it is effective at blocking YouTube ads on iOS for free 🤷🏼‍♂️

There are other paid options, and other side loading options as well. But Brave is easy and it works. I only use it for youtube.com on my iPad, so I’m personally fine with allowance for that.

Use SmartTube on Android TV and Fire TV. Cast from Brave browser on Apple TV or Roku.

I picked a cheap phone on purpose, but I don’t know how I’ll be able to go back to a phone that doesn’t have the chop to activate the flashlight gesture. It works everytime for me, and it’s a pretty easy gesture. I’ve never had it go off accidentally either. Same goes for the double twist for the camera.

The guestures have been such a pleasant surprise for my budget tier device.

Cool, thanks! Something I’ve been meaning to try out.

Which one? Something paid or self hosted?

There are already other open source forks of Firefox that are community driven and maintained without employees or a for profit organization behind them. The obvious example is LibreWolf which describes itself as “a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom”. There’s no argument that maintaining a web browser is currently complex and needs to make security first decisions, but LibreWolf as an example shows us that it is not only possible but I argue proves it will continue even if Firefox as we know it goes away.

You may want to educate yourself before spreading unnecessary FUD. Firefox is free and open source, and always has been. There’s no danger in Firefox becoming a paid browser because even if they tried, it would just be forked and maintained by another community or group.

Mozilla does have a for-profit arm called the Mozilla Corporation, and they manage the money received from Google and others. But that doesn’t mean Firefox is going to become paid even if Google gets broken up by the antitrust efforts of the US government.

I personally recommend the stable version. It has integrated Adblock and sponsorblock. The dev is very responsive when issues arise like YouTube breaking stuff.

Any reason you recommend the beta instead of the stable version?

These days they would be using an esim rather than a physical sim.

Baked in AI makes C Suite and shareholders happy. That’s about it.

For simple free ad blocking, you can use Brave browser.

For paid options, there are Safari extensions (I haven’t tried these but have read about them): Vinegar does ad blocking and there is also a SponsorBlock extension.
