    This is the first time you noticed you caught a malware. I wouldn't be so confident about never having caught one and Im way more paranoid than you. This one was just really noisy.

    ivn ,

    Those are just some uses of malwares. It's not always that noticeable.

    ivn ,

    Why would you use two adblockers?

    ivn ,

    Twice the chances of being detected

    Double the attack surface

    Half the performance

    It really does not work like that. If you need a second adblocker to block somethings just enable the block list of the second one in the first one.

    In fact just use uBlock Origin and be done with it.

    ivn ,

    I have only uBlock Origin and no YouTube update has gotten past it (except the first one for a few hours), I never get "disable adblocker" messages either. Also anti adblockers are not blacklist based.

    Yeah, I don't think that's the best selling point for desktop use. For me it's having all my configs for all my devices in a single place, checked in git, with bits of config I can easily share between my different devices.

    Privacy Badger is pretty useless now.

    ivn ,

    Click fraud is a big thing with a lot of countermeasures, it's not as easy as adnauseum pretends it is. I doubt it does anything.

    ivn ,

    In session sanitising seems pretty useless.

    Why is graphene os only available on google pixels?

    I want to mainly use it for privacy over its "security". I don't know what makes everyone fine with running it on fucking google pixels. Is there some kind of "low security" version or something for other phones? I'm so tired of certain organizations infiltrating privacy communities and making people believe in improving...

    ivn ,

    It does not. Domain based blocking does not work with youtube.

    Your link event says it:

    Some ads may […] be served through the same domain as the website, making them harder to block without blocking the website itself.

    There is no point in using a proxy for this, because of https it won't be able to block more than with DNS blocking. Maybe a tiny bit more if you set up mitm but that's really not worth it.
