this is the way. easy. no install. no extra steps. update when you want.

or you can add the ppa that's listed in the yt-dlp install instructions (scroll down to third-party package managers > apt) and use apt to install it like any other package.

they're trying, with that 'privacy' sandbox crap.

don't forget about the 'bundles'. lock you in to paying for six to keep you from service hopping.

they're probably still making 'enough' money off the addons and dlc for the current one (which itself is now free-to-play), that they don't have to remake it again to resell remade addons and extras again.....yet.

it'll happen. had to give up a 4L because the toner got scarce--and rather expensive. pretty much nonexistent now.

and now we're on our seventh printer since.

ublock origin and adblock plus do the same thing and can be configured to use the same filter lists.

pick one or the other (tip: choose ubo) for in the browser.

all the more reason to use an adblocker... and a script blocker if you don't mind the extra clicks to get a whitelist going or to temporarily allow them somewhere.

you're actually helping by lowering the amount of revenue they have to shuffle offshore and hide from the feds.

do they even use 'dualbios' anymore? all i've seen lately is 'q flash' (for updating bios without a cpu or video present) on their boards.
