How do normies deal with browsing the modern web? If you take independent.co.uk as an example I get
>21 requests
>906.09 KB / 240.66 KB transferred
>Finish: 2.36 s
with uMatrix and uBlock Origin
If I disable both I get
>144 requests
>3.63 MB / 1.45 MB transferred
>Finish: 20.11 s
and this isn't even counting all the negative effects of having to view ads, get tracked and all that. I don't really care if normies have to deal with this shit BUT it puzzles me how they willingly put up with it.

People are constantly logging tickets because some shitty ad told them to go and download a new app ("I don't know what this torrent thing but I need a new one, it says here").
This shit is more invasive than the malware we spend a hundred thousand dollars a year having McAfee fail to detect.
what alternative is there?
I've been putting off trying adblock for years, but eventually, certain sites have become impossible to browse because clicking anywhere on the page opened a popup. Now i'm with ad blocking extensions
it's a like a parody of the original internet
I don't take leftist ideology particularly seriously but at some point this commercialization of literally everything is going to come to a head
I stick to lynx
It even ignores most paywalls
Javascript was a mistake
Since we're on the topic of ads and tracking, how does Jow Forums block the suspicious domains on Jow Forums that Hiro installed? They keep showing up in umatrix for me.
Just block them? If they appear on umatrix this means that something on the page tried to call that resource, and if it's in red in umatrix, it was blocked.
tampermonkey, look for Jow Forums anti-cancer
>tampermonkey
botnet use violentmonkey instead
what I wonder about more, plenty of these third-party javascript libraries/frameworks are being constantly loaded by millions of people through third-party site requests. How do they pay for that shit?
Is it all basically google cross financing it all by stealing your data with google advertise?
there's nothing to be annoyed or worried about web is fine
How do you guys get around sites that deploy anti-adblock? Even reek's anti-adblock killer isn't always effective.
Why is it a botnet?
They used to be open source, however they decided to make it closed source for some totally not shady reason.
Violentmonkey on the other hand is still very much open.
I stop using them. Ideally I'd put their site in my hosts file so that I never visit them again, but I don't care that much.
All Firefox addons are technically open source since you can extract the .xpi file and get the source code but the code of Tampermonkey is obfuscated. Violentmonkey is licensed under the MIT nigger license which, while not as good as GPL, is still better than proprietary licenses.
It's too late.
it would not be difficult to link most reddit/Jow Forums posters to their actual identities. i'm actually shocked it hasn't happened yet.
Even porn sites would be possible...
How do normies deal with watching TV.
Easy.
The difference is that norms are too dumb to realize that they could have something better.
GPL is restrictive. Free as in free, unless you don't want your software to be free, then you are not free
The freedom to enslave others is restricted.
How can you say you're free if you don't own any slaves.
I had forgotten how fucking bad TV is until I was over at my parents' for dinner a few weeks ago. Afterwards my mom wanted to watch something on TV so we went out there and carried on talking. I swear there was more commercials than actual program. I've told my parents about things like Netflix but they don't seem to care. I know it's botnet but at least they wouldn't have to spend half the time watching commercials.
I stopped watching TV over 10 years ago due to this. Re-runs and commercials make up 90% of the content and I only get irritated when I'm at another persons house watching something.
Normies need to be informed.
Why? Let normies suffer. Ads are what pays for the Internet so it's really in our best interest if we block ads but let others view them. More people blocking them is going to lead to more aggressive counter measures. I've been blocking ads since the 90s but only now in the last years that adblocking has become common among normies have websites bothered to implement attempts to keep people who block ads out. Sure you can help your family but that's pretty much it.
What should I block on uMatrix and what I shouldn't? I can't get captcha to work with it after I meddle with it.
I use this
This.
Psychopathy is underrated. Why should I give a fuck about anyone else? They're inferiors.
I'm more in the camp that online advertising needs to die and along with it the tracking and privacy violations. Best timeline would be that we go back more to the way everything was before when (the majority of) people ran things for fun and not just for profit, but I'm probably being delusional.

Are those profiles, built by ever trashed? Or are they stored for life?
Not working. I can't run the domestic extension, so I can't open resized images, use the Update button or post a reply by the window.
How is it psychopathy? Very few care about others than their friends and family. Before you used to care about people in your community as well but globalism ruined that. Now people don't even know the names of their neighbors.
It would of course be best if it died but again ads are what pays for most websites. Ads and tracking scripts are in 99% cases loaded from a third-party domain which makes it easy to block.
Yeah I know but not that much trouble creating rules from the images is there?
You need Jow Forums X for it to work with javascript disabled
>Jow Forums X
Thanks, mate.
Not that guy. I already installed 4chanx and umatrix. Use the no-script fix and block the google script in umatrix but when im about to post it always say "Captcha not valid". Can you help me?
whats the reason for not installing an adblocker on company computers? all i have seen let ads through and almost all employees use the computers for non work related browsing so malware could come from the ads too
I get this too after making one post... then I have to wipe "Browsing & Download History"... it's not really optimal so I have to use a separate profile for Jow Forums... anyone have a fix for it?

You're talking about people who willing pay hundreds of dollars to mail their DNA samples off to NSA puppet companies for a piece of paper that tells them they're 1% african american.
I use Decentraleyes so even if I enable scripts from jquery.com it will use local library instead of fetching it from jquery.com
Netflix has ads now too. I wonder how long TV is going to last with the new generation coming up
normies don't "browse" they stay on a single site like reddit or facebook
Goddammit
You get calls from people asking why a website isn’t working for them but it works for someone else. They don’t have the conception of what the adblocker is doing and why it has to occasionally be disabled for a page to work properly, so they assume the machine is broken (and usually blame the person who installed the adblocker - you)
uBO is all you need, not even the creator himself uses uMatrix anymore.
how tf do I use uMatrix
I once installed it and Jow Forums theme changed and I couldn't post
Allow whats needed on a per site basis and save that setting. If you don't know anything about networking or what certain requests are it can be challenging at first because you're guessing. But once you become more familiar it takes seconds to save settings on a newly visited site.
Youtube also looks more and more like reg. tv.
It was short clips before, now every youtube star wannabe makes 12 minutes videos out of 30 sec material.
thanks
The trick is only allowing the bare minimum. When I first started making rules I realized I was allowing more than what I actually needed. It's trial and error at first.
