Yep, it’s shoutingisfun. They have really good pools.

Bitch, the real MVP is Xenia

It shouldn’t be a difference, what Ublock and Brave and network based blockers such Pihole do is they have a list of domains that are not allowed to load on your system.

If they find that www(dot)adexample(dot)com is trying to load in your browser, they simply block it and the video continue.

Maybe the only different is the privacy itself that offer something like Libretube vs something like YouTube + Ublock. While using Libretube, you are only loading what is neccesary, you are not giving Google more information that you shouldn’t, and while you using YouTube in Firefox for example you are loading all the cookies, trackers and that stuff, even in private browser with maximum privacy settings and adblocker.

I’m not sure about this case because I don’t use flatpak that much, but to be honest I hate when I install an Electron based program such Freetube, and even though I installed the BIN binary (arch btw, not happened this on Debian based distros) for some reason my package manager decided to install the whole Electron framework with DE included. I get that it depends on it to work, but I don’t need 40 Electron packages to show in my Wofi that I would never use, is so ugly. The same with Qt programs and any single KDE app (but I understand in this case)

I mean, yeah I understand that Freetube depend on Electron to work, but why when installing Steam this is not the case?
