On LG WebOS, the Homebrew Store has an Ad-free YouTube app that works well too.

Of course it is. I’m not disputing the fact that different people have different preferences and needs. I’m disputing the idea that a restaurant should never have a phone line unless it’s used to take reservations.

Yeah possibly. The article doesn’t specify it but I’ve seen systems that would give you the automated message but still put you through if you stayed on the line.

I, on the other hand, prefer to do it online and wouldn’t mind this. Horses for courses.

Why even have a phone number if it is useless?

Really? Are reservations the only use for a phone?

I don’t know which small phones have been released recently but I’ve used an iPhone Mini and decided against it. Not because it’s small but rather because it’s not small enough.

See, I do like a big screen more than a small one. That said, the phone is something I carry in my pocket so there’s a balancing act to be done there. What was really great about the original iPhone’s size was not that it had a small screen. It’s that it was small enough that I could reach all corners of the screen with my thumb.

None of the recent small phones I tried had that advantage. In that case, since there’s no clear usability advantage to the smaller model, I’ll take the larger screen instead.

The problem is that some of the block lists are just too eager on the blocking.

I don’t see how the author can claim that NextDNS or AdGuard are any better in that regard though, as they rely on the same lists. 🤦

Unfortunately no support for Ecovacs.

On iOS I’ve been using Vinegar - Tube Cleaner by developer And a Dinosaur. It doesn’t replace YouTube as a whole - only the video player. Better interface, no ads.

FUD wars on Free and Open Source Software, shady deals with companies and governments to make them dependent on MS software and solutions, holding the web hostage to IE “standards”, …

Could you provide a source for this claim? Not doubting you but I haven’t seen it.

Instead of being a dick about it, why don’t you show what they’re doing and why you don’t like it, so we can all be educated and/or have a conversation about it, so everyone can decide for themselves if it’s a problem for them?

They’re also prioritising a few great and much needed QoL improvements like vertical tabs, tab grouping and a new Profile Management system!
