Grabbed a year on the Black Friday sale and, holy shit, it's so much better. Actual explanations and lessons is way better than the pointless gamification/leaderboards.

Yeah, I've got a bunch of the annoyances filters active and don't know if I could browse most websites without them at this point.

Is the last one still useful if you enable the cookies filter under annoyances in uBlock?

Now? They've both been lacking (and declining) for years at this point.

Most posts from what I see are now ‘’meme’s’’, ‘‘I justify pirate because…’’ and ‘’This is my collection!’’. Pretty much just hurr-durr look and upvote me kind of content.

/r/piracy wasn't much different in that regard when I unsubbed from it, long before leaving reddit last summer. It happens anytime there's a large enough userbase, as that sort of content is easier to create and consume, the latter making it more likely to get voted up.

Thank god you're there to let him know. He never would have realized otherwise.

And even then, it probably won't be especially quick. It's a manual process, and it seems like there's other priorities at the moment...

Can also be done via trakt or imdb lists, if you're paying more attention to what you're doing than OP.

I'm aware of the complaint, and stand by my comment.

Which browsers don't let you change the default search? Firefox does. Chromium-based browsers do. I believe that alone covers "most browsers," though I'm curious if any actually don't allow that to be changed.

Seconding this, as it's my go-to for anything that's not for sale on Bandcamp and has treated me well.

Consider it done, but I wanted to make an attempt to understand your reasoning first in case I was missing a compelling reason the deletion was urgent/useful. Glad to know I wasn't.

Edit: I meant to also express my frustration that most browsers do not let you select a “default search engine” that can be used in the address bar aside from 3-5 pre-chosen engines. Seems like 2023 we should be able to customize that to our own liking.

Which browsers don't? I think this one can likely be chalked up to user error.
