Not piracy but I appreciate the meme. It's like someone handing you a book with a sticker on it that says "don't read!". You rip the sticker off and read it anyway. If you didn't want me to read it, then why did you hand me the book!

I always take it as a challenge. Like “hey, if you can get past the information goalie, you can find out what the shooter put in his stupid manifesto we published for millions to read!” Or “hey, if you can solve the E-Sphinx’s Riddle, you get to read this research on whether or not we’ll have a climate in the next ten years!” Helps take the edge off sometimes.

you can set up cosmetic filters using ublock origin, it really is a wonderful extension

Orion browser on IOS supports firefox extensions, including uBlock

I tried it and it didn’t really work, opening the unlock settings or pop up would show a blank page

Strange. I’ve never had problems with it and it’s always solved browser issues on ios for me.

This was a couple months ago so it might’ve changed

uBO filters really are a powerful tool. I just discovered the other day that there's even a filter than can inject CSS and JS scripts in a webpage!

basically lets you hide any website elements, it can be login screens or some other annoying part of the website

TIL I've been using ublock wrong, thanks for the revelation!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

While I respect the classic method uBlock Origin has a feature for that built in. You just click the lightning bolt icon and then click what on the page you want gone.

If a website asks me log in to continue I just leave.

How is it piracy if I'm modifying information that is sent to a device I own? If you don't want me to see the information, don't sent it lol.

How do you press f12 on your phone though?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Third party keyboard is probably the easiest option.

Depending on your phone, there are various blockers and inspect element-type tools available.
I’ve found Hyperweb + Adblock to be useful on iOS, for example.
