Oooo a whole 16 gigs! It can run Firefox with more than four tabs open!
I am live.

Absolutely! Everything on YouTube is somehow predicated to getting you exposed to some kind of advertising. Absolutely everything!
They’ve min maxed it so hard that without the various plugins that I use in Firefox YouTube would be almost completely unusable.
I spent zero time defending anything.
I made a statement relative to the original article.
I am unaffected by the fact that uBlock will no longer function in chrome because I use Firefox.
You keep trying to infer that Firefox has nothing to do with chrome or the article in and of itself. Which I do not contest.
And yet I still made the statement.
So let me repeat myself. “I am unaffected by this because I use Firefox”
I hope that my continued perceived waste of time annoys you further.
It’s about uBlock Origin not working on chrome.
No I use u-block origin. The very product the article is referring to.
I just use it in Firefox so I am completely unaffected by this.
It’s a great feel.
Huh… I couldn’t tell with all the Firefox I use.
That’s why it’s been so gosh darn hot.
This explains why I’ve been getting so many Indian scam calls the last few days.
I’ve said once and I’ll say it again. Either the information on your site is free to all or to none. You can’t have some people/entities pay and some not!
Son of a bitch! Stop calling so late!
Never keep anything on your phone that would require you to lock it.
I’ve never locked my phone.
My screen doesn’t even support it… But I’m also a cheapskate.
Yes. But to be fair they would have ended up there anyway.
Piracy has changed so much. Back when people were making the transition from p2p to torrents there was very little if any streaming sites.
Nowadays if you sneeze hard enough you’re bound to spray down some big name streaming service.
Now there are even whole front ends that allow you to stream whatever you want anytime you want even on a little, but very powerful handheld computer.
I would say that 12% is more on the low end. If you were to factor in ad blocking and the various front ends I mentioned earlier I could see that number going up much higher.
What’s more crazy is that the very ISPs that track all of our information and sell to the highest better are the same ones sending us letters and emails when we use torrents that they’ll shut off our services if we continue to pirate movies and music.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
Wow.
It really bothers me that you’ve somehow interpreted and asserted a relationship with my friend that you have no way of knowing.
But I will entertain your naive ignorance for a moment. This friend that I’m talking about, we’ve been friends for over 20 years he gives me as much crap as I give him and our relationship is better for it.
I have literally told him that he’s acting like an idiot for using these things that are actively monitoring everything that he does. His privacy is being systematically invaded and he doesn’t care.
The reason he doesn’t care is because he likes the stuff that he uses because it’s fast and he claims there’s little lag. Personally I think this is nothing more than an excuse for being lazy by not going through the steps of setting up his software so it won’t be invading his privacy (as much).
At no point did I pressure him to change or attempt to persuade him to get an Android or to use Linux or anything else he is perfectly free to use whatever he feels is comfortable.
Nevertheless it’s just a cop out he is acting stupid by using all of this stuff that infiltrates his privacy.
It’s okay to be accepting of people and to be their friend and to also call them on their bullshit. If their feelings are hurt and it strains the relationship then its probably not a good friendship.
I mean… Ya. I fully agree. But that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a copout.
I have a friend that just refuses to use anything but chrome, refuses to use any kind of adblock and will only use an iPhone.
I don’t get it. I’ve asked him to explain but he just keeps saying “it’s personal preference” which is such a massive copout.
Gosh that’s sucks people on iPhone using Snapchat.
Says a guy on an android that doesn’t even know what Snapchat does.
