Ublock origin + firefox is no longer working for blocking ads on youtube?
  • Dearrow replaces clickbait titles and thumbnails for videos with non-clickbait equivalents. Users volunteer for updating titles using the same add-on that reflects for everyone else worldwide.

    Video thumbnails are replaced by a random frame by default but you can submit a more appropriate frame as well.

  • DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube.
  • Here's a non exhaustive list of things I've blocked:

    • The pill strip on top with a list of video topics (don't know what the official term is.)
    • YouTube shorts suggestions.
    • Ads that are injected into the suggestions.
    • "Shorts remixing this video" section in the video descriptions.

    I'll perhaps share my ublock filter list for YouTube later.

    Edit: My uBlock Origin filters:

    Gamescope problems with fullscreen/maximized windows on Plasma 6.1?

    I was recently experimenting with using Gamescope to check whether HDR works on Plasma.

    The games run perfectly if I set the compositor resolution (via -W and -H arguments) to a lower value like 1920x1080 (I have a 1440p monitor). But if I were to maximize the compositor window or make it fullscreen (via the Super + F shortcut), the window becomes invisible and I see my desktop. In case of maximizing, the title bar is visible but nothing else.

    I have not set --expose-wayland since games don't even start when I set that. When running gamescope with Steam integration (via the -e argument), steam starts and I am also able to make it fullscreen without any issues, but when I launch a game, I only see the Steam window.

    During this time, I can hear the audio from the game, implying that the game is running in the background.

    Has anyone else faced this issue and what could be done about this?

    FWIW, I am on EndeavourOS with the git version of Gamescope installed from the AUR, though the non-git version does not fare any better. GPU is AMD Radeon with Mesa.

    Converge's Jane Doe is such a great album

    When I first listened to this album it didn't really gel with me very well and then I put it on my backlog and forgot about it for a couple of years. I recently rediscovered it and now it's become a obsession for the last 3 weeks or so.

    All tracks are absolute slammers. I don't feel like stopping the album in the middle once it starts playing from the beginning.

    My most favourite track is probably Homewrecker. Though I also love the slow and melancholic Hell to Pay and Phoenix in Flight, and it's follow up chaotic madness that is Phoenix in Flames.
