They’ll likely do what other platforms have done and let you X out the ad til you unpause
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
Yeah seriously… the fact that only 2 or so commenters correctly understood the headline reflects poorly on the community

- Comment on Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI. 8 months ago:
They were. One user got so upset he live-streamed himself individually deleting every post and comment he’d ever made. Reddit restored it all right after.

- Comment on Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December 1 year ago:
Try it with a mouse scroll wheel. It’s a completely different feel compared to Chrome. I was on Windows if it makes a difference
- Comment on Firefox will support at least 200 new extensions on Android this December 1 year ago:
Minor gripe but the scrolling feels so bad on desktop imo

Yeah but are you ready for “my grandma used to tell me $10 off coupon codes as I fell asleep…”
- Comment on Driverless Cruise car runs over woman hit by another driver 1 year ago:
I disagree. Human drivers kill over 40,000 Americans a year. If there’s an alternative that kills less than 40,000 a year we should take it. Ideally mass transit but America seems to like cars.

- Comment on Why We’re Pulling Our Recommendation of Wyze Security Cameras 1 year ago:
I actually had this glitch or something similar. Was staying with a friend when I got an activity alert…but it was from their camera. IIRC all it gave me was a still frame of them standing in front of it. I never bothered reporting it to Wyze. I figured it was some rare glitch because I had given my friend that camera (it was now on their account and not linked to mine).

I set it up all excitedly on my tablet and proceeded to never use it. And just wait til you see how bad it is on chromeOS. The fastest way to launch it is through command line.
- Comment on Lyft now lets drivers prioritize matches with women and nonbinary riders 1 year ago:
Conceptually, sure. But I imagine it’d be a potential lawsuit over workplace discrimination. Especially if the female drivers are being paid more for the same service.

In Chrome, start at the three dots in the upper-right corner and go to Settings > Privacy and Security > Ad privacy. (Or just type chrome://settings/adPrivacy into your address field.) The ad privacy page lets you turn off Chrome’s targeted ads.
