I think YouTube is dying.

Already, I see many of my favourite channels being restricted (one Ukrainian blogger) whilst the completely moronic, yet dangerous conspiracy theory/Flat-Earthers flourish.

Meanwhile, the most common thing we see is the push to sign up and pay them - yet with all the censorship (not simply censored for non-paying customers to allow the advertisements) it is not a viable option.

Thankfully I still use a Desktop - with Firefox and decent extras the actual ads are still not affecting me at all, but YouTube's policies really are.

They are completely above the law - they don't need to respect their own TOS (the reasons many people are blocked is more related to some secret narrative, and it goes against their own stated terms).

There is no way to appeal outside YouTube, and good luck with any idea of taking them to court for removing your income stream, or censoring a very useful source of information whilst spamming you with algorithms that treat you like Spongebob, and expect you to watch completely moronic content.

I suggest YouTube is a conspiracy to destroy the world, starting with the world population's ability to think.

Convince me I'm wrong ;)

It's very clearly communicated when you install and set it up.

• × Allow Firefox to automatically install updates (recommended)
• ✔ Check for updates but let you choose to install them.
• × Use a background service to install updates.

Haha Pornhub - proof that most visitors use Windows, and they're a bunch of wankers.

I was under the impression that ALL websites are basically a kind of webapp. Some (like Lazada) are what you'd call 'Progressive Web Applications'.

I use Webapp-Manager on Linux, which will set up a shortcut to launch any website/url as a Webapp... at the time of creation, you can choose Firefox or some other browser as the backend (works well for sites that dont work in Firefox).

So for me, the BBC Radio website is a webapp, Overseerr and Sonarr are webapps too.

Doesn't Ctrl+D do that?

I'd go with 'session manager' rather than bookmarking... Sounds like you just have too many tabs to manage easily.

Yet another reason never to use Snaps. Why would you allow Ubuntu to force you to use the bloated Snap package?

If that happens, you should recover from a snapshot... I never experienced this unless the profile folder was damaged or lost.

That’s a Linux (and similar) issue. When Linux updates via it’s package managers it will update Firefox in the background even though it’s open.

This is fundamentally wrong. If you are using Firefox on Linux, you would not update at a time when you're working - because you KNOW that you have to restart it.

It is considered a 'User Error' if they update their system and then complain later that they're unhappy that they suddenly need to restart something.
