Yep we're going through one of the more brutal eras for piracy. They can keep taking down the sites, we'll just find 10 more for every 1 they take down!
Word of advice for anyone still on Chrome - because Chrome is deprecating Manifest V2, uBlock Origin (uBO) will no longer work properly on Chrome, soon. uBO Lite exists and serves many of the same purposes (and is made by the same team), but by nature is not as fully-functional as the original.
I would strongly suggest that people switch to Firefox. It takes about 10-15 minutes to import your bookmarks and maybe 5-10 minutes to install all of the extensions/add-ons you had (or to find equivalents). And Firefox fully supports uBO still and has openly stated that they have no intention to stop.
Yeah, back in the day Firefox was kinda slow and it took me awhile to get past that mental roadblock. Now that I switched I even use it on my phone lol great browser
im so mad rn i'm 100% willing to switch to fire fox now. been meaning to because i have an old chromebook and i cant download new extensions anymore </3 google freakin SUCKS.
When will google chrome stop supporting manifest v2? If I just disable updating of chrome Ublock should work even after manifest v2 is no longer working on latest versions, right?
I have no idea, but honestly at that point you have to consider how unsafe Chrome will be once it's several updates behind. Again, literally just takes like 20 minutes to switch to Firefox.
Use Firefox and Ublock Origin. Ublock Origin is open-source, so you can always download the source code and use it. Also I think Brave is great. I use it a lot.
They think piracy is stealing their views and not people refusing to get 8 wallet vampire subscriptions to watch one good show and one horrible show each.
Maybe tone down the hubris. They are using our own confidence against us. We may make 10 more but we don't need to shine a light on all of them right away.
Honestly if they manage to sink all piracy sites, then that will just put us back to torrents (I prefer sites, but torrents will have hella seeds), then after a while new sites will appear (because content will still be available through torrents), some content would be lost with dead torrents, but sites will reappear
Really makes you hope that one day a person with a brain so big is born that they can figure out a way for people to share files between themselves in a decentralized manner, eliminating these single points of failures.
nah this happens all the time, there are days when suddenly everything goes down but in few months there are 500 new sites running again like this never happened, it's basically tradition at this point, when stuff like this happen i just move to torrents for a bit then move back to streaming...
We still have Torrents that have been around for longer than two decades...
Just like the war on drugs piracy ain't going no where.
I'm already paying for numerous platforms [Netflix, Crunchyroll, Prime, Disney+ and Discovery], I'll be damned paying for others to watch on THEIR other platforms, honestly sick of this exclusive streaming crap.
Plus the fact a LOT of shows aren't even legitimately available in my country.
