I can't even convince my spouse to switch to firefox to get adblocking back. Browsers are entirely transparent to most users :\

If you’re savvy, look at blocking them at the dns level with software like pihole or blocky.

Just install it and change the icon.
Wait, what browser are they using that doesn’t support plugins? IE11?
halcyoncmdr@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
It’s not about no plugin support… It’s about Chroma and Manifest V3 crippling adblocking plugin capabilities.
QuadratureSurfer@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
Yeah, if you really wanted to use chrome, you’d have to use something like Brave where they forked and did not move over to Manifest V3.

For normies Chrome IS the internet.

“Normies” don’t use PCs anymore. Whatever apps the phone vendor preinstalled, Web or other, is the internet.

You’re probably too young to remember that in an old version of windows, Internet Explorer’s desktop icon was labeled “The Internet”. Nowadays, people think Google is “the internet”. My boomer dad says he “has Gemini”… bruh, you’re just searching shit on Google.

Well, I’m 44 so I do remember those days, but I used to be a Netscape user, so there’s that.

This also applies to the results on Duckduckgo so I assume this affects a lot of people here.

...people use Geocities?

Neocities; Geocities is dead.

Oh. Whups.
NewNewAugustEast@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Ok, same question. People use neocities?
Zedstrian@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
1.5 million websites that, whether obscure or not, deserve to be indexed no less than the many obscure GitHub pages that Microsoft is sure to index.

Dick Duck Go gets its search results from Bing.
NotSteve_@piefed.ca 2 weeks ago
IIRC that’s just one of the backends they use for their results

I just opened neocities.org with it, but nothing specific.
