  Yeah this is one of those rare occasions where the foss app actually looks better and is more polished than the commercial one! The new beta plex mobile looks much better but you can no longer hide the live TV and on demand stuff, the entshittification is real. And the jellyfin video player still shits on the new plex one.

  There are still a number of areas where jellyfin lags far behind plex though like offline playback/downloads, ability to skip intros/credits on mobile. And plex overall is slightly better at transcoding, downmixing etc and requires a lot less manual setup in general.

  Personally overall I rate them roughly equal when you balance out the pros and cons of each, assuming you already have a plex pass. But there’s absolutely no justification to pay for plex when jellyfin is just as good for free

  By leaving you are voting with your feet, one could argue it’s one of the most effective ways to fight. Staying means that in many ways you will be continuing to support the broken system

  Saved you a click: power = rate of energy use (energy/time)

  I don’t use Chrome, just pointing out facts

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No, all the other ad blockers besides uBO support mv3, and for uBO there’s uBOL which seems just as good

  The Lemmy hivemind Firefox bias is a little bit insane lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google Chrome disables uBlock Origin for some in Manifest v3 rollout⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What a silly comment. Chrome has plenty of good ad blockers still.

  Apple has a conflict of interest too: they need to keep safari gimped so that users have to install apps instead of using PWAs, so that Apple can keep getting 30% of the app sales.

  As a result, Safari is terrible and very far behind in standards. It’s the new internet explorer.
