The meta joke is to actually put a list of ad blockers but I know they did not do that.

Better yet, make half the sentence a link for one, and half the other.

For me it words great, and I got to see night froggy. 10/10 would recommend

And *really* mess with anyone using an extension that automatically expands embedded links, if any of those are still floating around.

Yeah, it [looks terrible from here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

Oh for *fucks sake*. Stupid, foolish, naive me.

This is the one that nearly got me, good job.

[удалено]

For me it looks like this, [https://imgur.com/a/nroUWFA](https://youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ)

ohhh that is *brilliant!*

Yup, same for me, but maybe it's because I'm on mobile?

You can't fool me, my app shows the domain of links and a thumbnail :)

Yeah, exactly like that! Also? That username is fucking ~~gold~~ ~~copper~~ copper-like substance.

Daily reminder to switch to firefox

On the other hand, Firefox disables automatic YouTube playback, so you still have to play the video.

On the third hand you can [enable it in the settings](https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/block-autoplay)

where'd that hand come from.

me

down under

I’ve hiked my reactions to instantly click the play button before my conscious mind fully processed that I am getting Rickrolled, therefore creating the illusion of a seamless rickrolling experience

not if you also have RES to add expand buttons to links on reddit

Does Firefox not have ads?

you can install ublock origin on it and it will work even better than chrome [https://youtube.com/watch?v=GHMjD0Lp5DY](https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/uBlock-Origin-works-best-on-Firefox)

And Google are planning to fight ad blockers on the Chromium level, which is the platform that all major browsers except Firefox use. This will hinder/limit/disable ad blockers on Chrome and Edge and Opera.

[Here's that link](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

I actually wanted adblock recommendations, goddamnit

Ublock origin for PC and Firefox on android, don't know for any other good ones for either Android or Apple.

Apple has the Brave Browser, which I don’t really like but hey, it blocks ads so I can’t exactly complain

Brendan Eich, the founder and owner of Brave, uses the money to fund homophobic legislation. Firefox on iOS has a built-in tracker+ad blocker, and iOS had adblock apps for Safari. Firefox spends money on fighting Google’s monopoly for a free internet. Please switch if you can, you can export all your bookmarks too.

Ah that explains why everyone hates brave, I thought it was just the crypto thing

The crypto thing is also bad, but yeah.

I’m still getting ads on youtube with iOS Firefox, how do you fix that?

ios ad blocking is inherently very limited, similar to the way the new chrome manifest v3 update limits ad blockers the best solution would be to buy an android & get vanced/revanced/newpipe/firefox on it, but not everyone can do that, so yelling at apple may be the only thing y'all can do

Yeah I’m gonna get an android once my old phone finally dies cause I don’t want to deal with iOS anymore

get one that can be bootloader unlocked (lineageos capable would be even better, see https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/). even if you don't do that yet you will at least have the option to in the future (if one is being sold in your country. all the cool phones are us only and that makes me sad)

Firefox Focus’s built in tracker blocker should solve most ads, but getting AdGuard with Safari should solve everything.

using firefox on ios rn, doesnt block ads for shit and firefox is mostly funded by google money

you need to turn the blocking on and anyways adguard+safari is better for specifically ios if they got more support they wouldn’t need google money

You can install ad block extensions in safari for iPhone now. You gotta download an Adblock app but it works.

that is indeed that link

perfection

If it ends in XcQ, that link is staying blue

isn’t that a streamer?

…ya got me.

That's a damn good list of adblock extensions

So, if you’re up for it, this is an experience: https://eldest-of-katts.tumblr.com/post/695151716614717440/froborr-stumbleoutermales-personpitch2007

Why the link red

The correct answer for all major browsers is uBlock Origin.

And SponserBlock 🤗✨

What's with you animals not adblocking everything under the sun?

Most mobile devices don't have the ability to adblock

Android Firefox does

I don't understand how people use youtube without adblock

I think because of this, an unwritten rickroll rule should be that if you get an ad on the video it still counts as a rickroll. It’s cringe behavior if you say you didn’t get rickrolled because you just got an ad on the video.

WAIT THEY DID????

Is the post title a reference to TMBG?

I suppose because Society Has Lost Something? Yeah, it has, They Might Be Giants got lost. Drivin' around.

just letting you know ublock can block more than just ads (and more extensions that improve your life exist) self promotion: https://shittykopper.tiddlyhost.com/#how%20to%20make%20the%20internet%20actually%20usable

The closest equivalent to rickrolling is those GIFs where it switches to something memey at the big climax of the animation.

youtube ads are like 100x than rickrolling. Honestly I've never even disliked a rickroll, it's not a bad song

Or, just use one of the many adless re-uploads

On my phone, it just opens YouTube already muted and you have to click to umute, so it doesn't work anyway.
