Someone broke street date. Now if you don’t mind, I’ll go play for a bit :-)

Obviously not.

If you’re saying this because Snowden said wait he said on Twitter, I’m sorry but I wouldn’t know. Not because I didn’t try to read the article, I did, but because my custom DNS flagged cointelegraph.com as being malignant and blocked it. True story.

Edit: cointelegraph, not “cointelegram.”

The OP is TMNT, not Battletoads. Different green guys.

Not to throw shades or anything, but it released in a very buggy state. I would never have put money on Bean at this stage of development, and worst of all the sale was time limited, putting me off even more.

You know, red flags and all that. I’m not saying Bean won’t end up being a great app, but when you give money to get into an Alpha well, you get what you paid for.

Sideload uYou+ or set up Yattee. If you don’t know how to do any of those things, look into DNS based ad-filtering like ControlD and install Video Lite. Or skip the DNS part and only install Video Lite, but you’ll see in-app ads unless you pay the $12/y subscription.

"It’s already installed… as a Snap package."

People suggesting DNS filtering are missing the point. Yes, people should do it, but for cosmetic stuff you need a browser extension.

Anyway. I used to use Adguard. Like you, I noticed how slow it was making Safari. Worse, sometimes it simply wouldn’t work even though it was supposedly active.

I gave Ghostery a try. It worked. No slowdowns or anything. Then I settled for Wipr. You can’t add custom lists to it, but at least it works as intended and doesn’t seem to slow down Safari.

I only ditched Ghostery because I don’t exactly trust them. Otherwise it was working perfectly, too.

PS: I am obviously also using a custom DNS server. I’m a ControlD customer.

La SNCF m’avait envoyé un e-mail pour se vanter de ça et c’est vrai que moi aussi, ça m’avait fait tiquer.

Surtout que depuis quoi, un an (?), ils ont rendu le système de contact avec le service client encore plus compliqué en forçant le passage par un chatbot à la con. C’est vraiment minable. Si ça ça peut obtenir le titre de “service client de l’année”, je n’ose pas imaginer la qualité des autres entreprises françaises.
