I feel like the people I interact with irl don’t even know how to boot from a USB. People here probably know how to do some form of coding or at least navigate a directory through the command line. Stg I would bet money on the average person not even being able to create a Lemmy account without assistance.
i don’t claim to have much computer knowledge, but people look at me like I have two heads when I suggest using a YouTube client without ads or download Blokada. Hell, the amount of people who don’t use Firefox (or a fork of it) and uBlock Origing are insane
Any good reccomendations for an alternate youtube client?
i use IgeBlock, it still has banner ads but tbh they don’t bother me
Average person here. I just want all my stuff to work with minimal intervention. And for me at least Google delivered. So that’s what I went with. I work too much to really care. I hate ads so I go with stuff like YouTube Premium, but for normal sites you have to stay on top of the latest methods and find workarounds to make ad blockers work perfectly. It’s just not a big enough inconvenience for me to dedicate what little time I have to deal with.
I mean, it takes three minutes to switch to Firefox and maybe thirty seconds to install uBlock Origin, which generally works out of the box
