i added 2-3 other adblockers

Never run multiple adblockers at the same time. You gain nothing except broken websites, performance issues, and an increased chance of triggering anti-adblocks.

EasyPrivacy should block Meta and Yandex pixels by default. If you have the knowledge you can put uBO in "hard mode" which will block all 3p connections. It requires you to know which CDNs to allow or websites will be broken.

uBO do remove trackers with the EasyPrivacy and uBlock filters – Privacy filters. More filters and options can also be enabled if you know what you're doing. For beginners it's best to stick to the default settings as more additions can lead to more breakage.

If you use uBO then Ghostery is redundant. It can also cause some of uBO's filters to not work correctly.

Also uBO can do what you did with stylebot. (If you use the full uBO extension, and not the limited Lite version for Chromium browsers):

I'd also be interested in a list of companies that advertise on X.

Probably most films by Darren Aronofsky. Pi and The Fountain are some of the worst movies I've seen. Feels like someone's artsy shroom trip. I dislike most "artsy" movies without a coherent story.

Also a lot of horror classics bores me to death. For example The Omen, Poltergeist, The Exorcist.

From the uBO subreddit: https://old.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1etvawp/youtube_ads_detection_breakages_2024_08_16_ubo/m31kbkw/

There was just an update to Quick fixes. Please test if it works for you.

  1. Click Here to update the list.
  2. If you disabled the list previously, enable it back.
  3. Close all previously opened YT tabs and try in a new one.

Just a reminder: Please always treat disabling lists as a last resort/temporary solution type of thing. Without that list, you won't be receiving important filter updates and will likely encounter ads after a while. So don't keep it disabled forever - verify that it's still necessary (daily?).

On Ubuntu I use the tar.bz2 version to not have to deal with snaps or extra repositories. Also on Debian Stable to get the latest version.

 

FYI, the repo is not DMCAd yet, only the download URL which moved to gitflic.

You shouldn't have to install any flatpak dependency manually. Flatpak should handle it for you automatically when you install your programs. (In most cases.)

I think I also had this issue using Cinnamon once, but then I just used VLC instead. Never bothered to look into why. Worked fine in GNOME for me though.

I found a thread with a similar issue: https://forums.opensuse.org/t/flatpak-mpv-broken-since-20240306-snapshot/172981

There it seems the issue was audio. Try running the flatpak version with flatpak run io.mpv.Mpv --ao=pulse path-to-your-media-file
