use an adblock, thats the most effective thing you can do. ublock origin on any browser. pay the creators you enjoy most directly. stop making them beholden to ad platforms. direct payment allows them to switch platforms and be nimble.
Dissenter has built in ad-blocking and privacy features, as it's built on top of Brave. The ability to overlay a comment section on top of any webpage, enabling real-time public scrutiny of the news as well as ad-blocking and privacy features, would help rob big-tech of data, ads, and narrative control. It's brilliant, if we could only get people to switch. Unfortunately, as a movement we are about as organized as a herd of cats and nobody seems to to see the big picture. I've been on TD 5 years and we still have done zero work in building alternative infrastructure outside of our own community. It's like we're trying to lose the culture war.
i want them to bring back dissenter as an extension.(its possible with developer mode which i think is easy enough to enable with a guide.) the browser itself has not been updated since they released it. its running on a year old fork of brave browser. browser updates are generally to plug security holes. i like gab. i like dissenter as a tool. its a shitty browser.
True, you can still download and install the dissenter extension on Brave - but not through the Google Chrome app-store. They have also removed the link to download it on gab. Major oversight in my opinion. Once more people get on Gab and they stabilize their services, hopefully Torba will address this issue with his growing audience. I would write a guide on how to do this, but it would probably die in new.
i didnt know it still worked in brave. doesnt even have the developer popup like chrome. bit slow right now but thats probably the 600k new users over at gab.
open brave and go to extensions -> enable developer toggle -> load unpacked -> select the dissenter_extension_chrome_v019 folder.
if brave bans it like chrome/firefox did go install the janky dissenter browser.
incidentally brave on mobile allows for background playback of video from any website, youtube included. youtube vanced is also a thing and is basically the youtube app with no ads and background playback enabled.
