Add the add-on/extension NoScript to her browser and at least have it block fbsbx.com, which seems to be totally unnecessary to allow, as the rest of the website seems to still function perfectly fine.

There are attendees who are both younger and older than me (mid-30s). To be fair, the group already gets <10 people per event on average, so I don’t think I could risk the slice right now. If we grew to over double that, then maybe I could revisit the topic.

why are people still using facebook?

I run a free board game group on there called West Allis Board Games. Believe me, I would like to leave Meta and I offer everyone https://gamenight.host/@wa_bgn as a nonprofit alternative, but no one is on the latter and everyone is on the former. If you have any ideas on what I can do, I’m all ears eyes.

I asked the attendees about how they’d feel if we moved to a different platform and they immediately said they don’t want to handle dozens of accounts scattered across different platforms. I also advertise the group on related subreddits and, most recently, the locally relevant /c/ equivalents here.

Ironically… I myself found this through Reddit, no joke! But yeah, I hope to sway more people here.

Wow, infinite aliases?! This is way better than Fx Relay, thanks!

I rather have them using AI to create it than having to go searching for real content.

A rebuttal to this that I’ve read is that the easy access may encourage people to dig into it and eventually want “the real thing”… but regardless, with it being FOSS, there’s no easy way to stop it anyway… It’s just a Pandora’s box that we can never close.

Consider the decentralized family of https://trom.tf/ apps, such as https://search.trom.tf/ as a replacement (that’s the only one I use of their stuff so far… but may poke around more later).

… until they keep having to dismiss people and go, “… huh.” This is a marathon we’re playing. You certainly don’t have to use it, but I think the philosophy makes sense, especially given how AdNauseam doesn’t click on acceptable ads that don’t track you.

Dang, I had no idea of Portmaster! I wish I talked to you years ago and will check these out, thanks, and I fully agree with your stance as well.

Ha, this is as hilarious as it is creative. Interesting find; got any more?

Hmm, I thought I saw a similar picker existing in AdNauseam, but I may be wrong. I could definitely get on board with your approach; while Inspector can delete stuff, it doesn’t remember them across page reloads or sessions, so this would be handy indeed!

Oh, what can it do that AdNauseam and NoScript can’t?

Join me in leaving uBlock Origin for AdNauseam! I made a post about it that ended up gaining significant traction: https://midwest.social/post/25573927

omg, I’m using NoScript now and my eyes have been opened; I can’t ever go back!! Thanks for the analogy; that was a much-needed, jolting wake-up call.

I was reacting to its GitHub:

This project is NOT currently being maintained. Code is made available for developers to fork. This is the FireFox version of the project, for Chrome see https://github.com/vtoubiana/TrackMeNot-Chrome.

So I’m wondering which active fork is best to go off of for Firefox. I could’ve been clearer; my bad.

Oops, right. For Firefox, though, it’s tethered to Mozilla accounts for sync, right?

I’m also hoping to find a way to reach and use a whitelist more easily, although I suppose it’s mostly one-time activation.

But I think I’m gonna go the NoScript route that someone else mentioned here, since that lets you selectively enable some JS while disabling others on the same website.

Thanks for the reminder about PeerTube… I’ve gotta look into that, too.

Careful: that then enters the world of ad fraud, which randos like us doing the clicking isn’t considered as.

Fascinating, thanks for sharing! What is the best, current Firefox fork of this one, if you know?

You incorrectly use the term ad fraud, which addresses advertisers themselves automating clicks on their own links to generate fake income. There is nothing wrong with people-with-no-corporate-interest who click.
