#I'm not going to blindly tell you to “switch to Linux” but you can easily test it out in a Virtual Machine within windows.#There are guides online that will hold your hand through the setup process. Linux Mint is not scary. You might love it.#If setting up a VM still feels like too much? Then yeah stick with Windows. That's understandable.#but if you're reading this far then you must have caught on to how your ability to fight back is tied to your tech literacy skills #If you're already following workaround guides to forcibly disable Windows features that piss you off or install modified apks...#then you're halfway there #we all pick our battles & hills to die on though (My deepest condolences if you require Adobe for work 🥲)#There is also Ublocks 'element picker' but you can cause more confusion than good if #you don't know what you're doing (You can always remove filters)#Or do what uBlock picker does by learning a tiny bit of CSS and you can make anything you want on a website go bye-bye #pssst! ''display: none'' & ''visibility: hidden'' CSS declarations #I originally listed all this in the tags and realized it was a mess. May as well keep the tags now though:#Linux #Firefox #uBlock Origin #SponsorBlock #Youtube-Shorts Block #DeArrow #Youtube Vanced #ReVanced Manager #Revanced #Minimal Theme for Twitter #Stylus #xkit #xkit rewritten #Dashboard Unfucker #xManager #I spent my morning free-time on this 😪
