Never thought i'd say this but its time for me and Google to part ways

[FrostF]

Nothing on Google is pleasant anymore.

- Youtube is trash. Even with paid i still get fuarking pop ups on my screen [SHOW NOTIFICATION?!?] Bruh you already got my money STFU
Unsubbed and tried watching a 1 hour vid which had an AD every 15 FUARKIN MINS?? LUL!

- Search engine is trash. Too many sponsored links and paid priority links. The top result should be the BEST result. I don't use search to have to search through the search results fckers..

- Play store is trash content. They really should have made a QA process to weed out falsely advertised chit. I feel safer with 2nd hand download link than installing anything for the play store.

- Google Pay is alright, but isn't really a plus to the platform imo.. Plenty of ways to pay out there.

- Chrome unable to handle enough cookies/browser data without cleaning it out every 3 days..

Moving onto bing, will rely on tik tok for all my video needs.

Get Brave browser.

Not a single youtube ad.


Stop using google products. THeir search is nothing but woke propaganda.

Get rid of Google Play, and install "Aurora Store" app which takes its place but is anonymous.

Oh yeah i remember brave, thx bruh will revisit that

[SuperHercules]

Haven't seen a popup ad on the internet since before youtube existed

[IAMBEE]

The google filtering of stuff it doesn't want you to see is insane. I can't remember what I was trying to look up but i more or less typed in the whole web address into google and it couldn't find it, I went to duckduckgo and it came up immediately.

lol. you're doing it wrong. I pay for youtube premium. ZERO ads. Can play a 3 hour podcast without interruption. I do agree their web search is too moderated now and can be trash.

[jmal2000]

I use Chatgpt4, Gemini Advance and Microsoft Copilot for all my search and research needs. Found book recommendations, music, research on the brain, it even helped me invent my own programming language for the brain.

lmao at these retards PAYING for something that is absolutely fuking free.

Install Brave Browser. Its a chrome clone, but without the Jewgle fåggotry and ads.

[FrostF]

I wouldnt even be mad at youtube if it just put the AD at the START of the video.

Not even Pron sites are dumb enough to insert ADS midway through the plowing. Disrupts thought and concentration entirely.

not worth my time and effort to bumble around with little hacks that break and need updates to fix all the time. I heard you ran into a bunch of issues recently when youtube found a way around the adblockers.

you either pay with your time, or you pay with your money.

Its not a "hack"


It takes less time to install a browser than it does to install Google Chrome. Or to pull your credit card from your wallet to pay. There are no more "updates" than with any other browser you use.


Thats seriously some retarded boomer ass nonsense to say out loud... I think you just outed yourself as a actual retard....












edit:

Let me break it down for you so even a boomer can understand.

You watch TV on a tv, right?

Well you had to buy that TV at some point.

Installing a different browser is no different than buying a better TV to replace the crappy one you have, that is old, broken, and costing you a lot of money.

Eh.. Like i said i was on the subscription for a bit but the fact that i still get little things popping on my screen like "Click here for notifications" just infuriates me. If i'm paying for a product which serves only distribute content, then i want to see my fuarking content with ZERO ADS AND ZERO POPUPS.

Boomer probably pays the local neighbor kid to come "fix his computer" (aka plug the LCD screen back in when it gets disconnected) because "his time is more important than blahblah"





One of those dumbfucks who pays the Geek Squad to "fix" his "hard drive speed" for $179 every other year. (because Bonzai Buddy and other malware he downloads is slowing chit down)

[DarthCholo]

LOL at poorcells thinking they're winning in life because they saved 13 bucks a month by installing a new browser. For me i rarely watch videos on my computer, or in any browser. The majority of it's use is in the mobile application. It's the primary way i listen to podcasts as well with background play. It also comes with free youtube music with no ads and full library available.

repeating the same thing over and over again is not an argument.

I heard in the news a bunch of poorcells complaining that youtube broke many of the adblocker browsers or extensions. Youtube doesn't intend to offer their media for free. It will always be a cat and mouse game between them and the ad blockers that will be one step behind when it breaks and they have to fix it. I heard you can get background play too! omg all you have to do is root your phone and install x plugin that will break in a few months when youtube patches that exploit. Youtube ad revenue is in the billions(9 billion from what the internet says). They are making money off users no matter what you say about it being free. They have 9 billion reasons to make it inconvenient for you to circumvent their ads.

lmao at the boomer and his "The News".


More like fake news.


And if you were actually informed on the topic, you'd know that Brave has nothing to do with any of the nonsense you posted there about things "breaking" or whatever.





BRAVE SIMPLY WORKS. No ads, no "breaking". It works more than your MSM riddled brain does.

except you ignore my talking points about mobile device integration and music being included. I guess you'll next tell me how to get free music streaming using X app or whatever too. Next you'll be telling me to go rent movies for free at the library or some other bs. When i did a web search for "youtube ad blockers don't work" a brave community troubleshooting article is in the top 5 search results. So happy you saved a hundred bucks a year though. Congrats.

[GuineaDago585]

I knew when they rigged the search algorithm we were phucked.

Back in the days you could Google lyrics to that song stuck in your head and it would show up at the top of the page.

Today if you Google lyrics, the algo will ignore 80% of it and you’ll just get sponsored content related to the two most common words.

Same with YouTube. I know the exact titles to my own videos I uploaded 15 years ago (srs). But if I search for them, they’ll be buried on the 9th page.

Meh too much google nonsense, plus google is breaking chrome so you cant adblock. Whereas Brave has it all baked into the program, and you never have to do anything.

This. These people are definitely technologically retarded.


"Smart" tvs are the most obnoxious thing ever. I was forced to get one as my plasma got warrantied. Won't use it as a "smart" tv because its almost unusable.


If you don't hook a PC up to your tv, you're doing life wrong. HMDI out from PC to stereo(and then TV) is all you gotta do, can't get any easier.




Maybe in the fukking kitchen or some place you rarely watch stuff, a boomersmartTV will work, but for your entertainment area, where you will actually be watching shows and youtube vids....


Its either Brave browser, or go fukc your mother.

Freaking poorcells coping about a plasma tv that broke from 15 years ago. Plugging in a PC to your main large screen TV to use a freakin mouse and keyboard. lol ! All these hoops you're jumping through to save 100 bucks a year. Meanwhile, I can cast youtube from my phone to any freaking TV i randomly see in anybody's home once I jump on the wifi with one click of a button. Instantly cast audio pretty much to any entertainment system with a smart TV. NO ADS! You're probably still downloading torrents and MP3's too. LOL at using a web browser on your 70 inch tv. Still probably plugging in your phone in your car via the auxiliary cable too.

I'm not against high end Plex system, or even CD's for music for lossless, but home theater PC's are dead. Your better of using an xbox or playstation instead of freaking laptop or PC to your computer. I used to have an HTPC back in the days when Tivo was still a thing and i was a poorcell too.

This is like watching someone brag about spending extra money on an automatic car and trying to brag how "its better to race an auto car over a manual car".




Congrats on your auto mustang. I'll be smoking you with my manual Subaru STi, boomer.

Imagine adblockers being around for the past 15 years and still not using them in 2024

Ad blockers have been busted letting paid ads through, they've been kneecapped by google and all sorts of nonsense, to the point they barely work anymore, especially with youtube, and are only getting worse.



I don't even mess with "ad blockers". All I do is use an UnGoogled browser that simply stops all that crap by default. Instead of chrome + adblockers + needing extensions + updating Ublock and all sorts of crap, just install Brave Browser, and be one and done.


Don't have to deal with updating 5 different things, or paying money like a fukcing boomer moron (and STILL getting ads!)
