indeed. I use both. I happen to have brave AND firefox on my laptop, as I've been making the transition to firefox the last few months. I'm entirely on firefox on my desktop, but I mainly use brave on my laptop. I used it to stream the aforementioned things on Saturday

so the way it worked was that it would only open the popup when the browser was opened and it would open it in a separate window. I could close it out but upon restarting the browser the popup would come back up.

After this I performed a scan with windows defender, which found and quarantined two things it labeled as trojans, and then with malware bytes, which found a couple of other bits of malware that I can't remember how it was labeled. Seems like it's all cleaned up now

it wasn't actually netflix, it's literally a site like Fmovies but with the name susflix??

movie and tv streaming and sports. I wonder if it wasn't one of the sports sites as it was a sports betting pop up, but the susflix was the only site that seemed to have anything bad according to the virustotal site.

probably but it was on the FMHY wiki with a star, so idk. Kinda weird that one of the best and most trusted pirated resources would have a malware site listed as one of the best options

I presently have both uBlockorigin and Brave's native adblockers at work, so not sure how it slipped through there. Definitely gonna look at the userscript manager though

I have firefox as it were

as it were, I wouldn't have, but it was in the FMHY wiki as a starred site, so I figured it was trusted

yeah that's pretty crazy lmao

Anybody use this site for custom cursors before? Is it safe? http://www.rw-designer.com/cursor-set/wii-cursor-by-stefano-tinaglia

I'm in the opposite boat- love the movies, not crazy about the books. Love the hobbit novel and have read and re read it multiple times, but I can't start Lord of the Rings for some reason. Never am able to get into it

I love the movies from what I remember, but I watched them as a kid.

I also loved the Hobbit novel. But I have tried on at least three occasions to start the book trilogy to no avail. Not sure what exactly it was, but I usually get through the first chapter and then my interest just dies. Maybe I will try an audiobook version next time.

same, frustrating as heck

why don't you just teach your kids to be pretentious hipsters from a young age and let them look down upon other kids for being part of the mainstream?

that's awesome mate, I will be saving this for later for sure.

Clicked through and saw the Thomas show- absolutely loved that one as a kid. Will say, the narrator that replaced Ringo, Carlin, and Baldwin has one of the most irritating voices I have ever heard. It's still soothing, but annoying in a weird way that I don't know how to describe

I have family members who are otherwise not worried about having to save money who are dropping netflix as soon as they get done binge watching their current show. Why? because they are paying for four people to use the account, and because of their new rules their parents aren't getting to use the account since they don't live in the same house.

I hate to break it to you netflix, but octagenarians who have no idea how modern technology works aren't going to understand how to setup an account, and they definitely aren't going to want to deal with having to call their children every week when they are asked for the "permission code" just to have the privelege of accessing what their children are already paying for.

On top of this, I'm sure their children don't want to have to deal with having to input this on a weekly (or however so often) schedule. It's a frustrating situation all around, and I have no idea why they thought it was a good idea.

I will look into this. The idea of having to do coding scares me, as I am not the best with it, but I have tinkered around with it before. Thanks for the suggestion!

thanks!

My desktop does have a dedicated gpu in my pcie slot. I just assume my laptop has integrated graphics with the board, its an average/below average hp pavilion from around 2018.

I have 2 SSDs in my desktop, with one containing gaming storage and the other being the boot drive. I would prefer to experiment with linux on my laptop though, and I'm pretty sure it only has the 1 TB HDD. However, all sensitive data should be moved from that shortly so that I may have room to tinker/play around with it.

hey sorry if other people have already answered this, but you can usually use jdownloader to rip audio straight out of youtube. I've been doing that for ages, but sometimes the playlists I want to rip have way more tunes than I want to rip and the quality is all over the place so I want more consistency. It works really well though if you want to curate your own youtube playlists and then rip them.

It should be noted that this also works with video in youtube too- you can rip your favorite videos in their entirety
