A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Ublock Origin is an obvious one, but I also can't stand not having Foxy Gestures anymore. It adds customizable mouse gestures, so you can set it up to have easy swipes to go back a page, reload a page, close a tab, etc, and it feels wonderful and smooth to use compared to just using the traditional buttons to do everything. Honestly it's kinda wild to me that this isn't more popular now that people are so used to phone gestures. It's good for the same reasons!

In case you didn't know, the "I don't care about cookies" extension was recently sold to Avast. I don't know if anyone has seen them make any sketchy changes yet, but personally I didn't want to trust them and uninstalled it

So what would you recommend to replace it?

Currently I just deal with the banners (as annoying as they are) and shed a tear at the state of the modern internet.

Ublock origin has additional filters that block these. Check out the settings.
