A simple network sniffer is enough to figure out what sites the app is connecting to, then you can just block them on the router.

If you are using Android, you can do that easily right on your phone with PCAPdroid, it’s on the play store. No root required.

Filter is not block though, if you open the instance on your browser, you still see them. Only if you actually block them, they are gone.

Yep, confirmed. Not working for me either in Beta 30.

So that’s why you have 2 accounts ;-)

I can’t tell, I have a youtube account.

Workplace policy leading to inherent familiarity with the system.

Plus most people aren’t heavy users or particularly tech-savvy. Installing an OS from scratch is already too much to ask for most.

https://github.com/yuliskov/SmartTubeNext is the only app you’ll need on a TV. It’s designed for it and fully syncs with your original youtube account.

Um, no. It flags it for the user to review and urges a removal, that you can ignore. That’s it.

I live in China and have a Xiaomi phone as a work device, and use all sorts of apps the powers that be don’t like on it.

Maybe put it on the github tracker as a feature request so you can be certain to get a reply?

They have pirated apps? That’s news to me.

Works for me.

Nah. They don’t know Google translate. Or Google, for that matter. They know what they are supposed to know.

Of course some people know better, and those are the ones who will eventually get around the block - finding and installing a VPN is not rocket science, not even here. But if you keep 98% of the population contained, the rest won’t reach critical mass.

The quick block is there, under “filter”.

It’s also faster than chrome now I think.

Resource management is much better. Chrome will max out the RAM, which slows down the browser. Firefox handles that 100x better.

It doesn’t work in China, if that’s any indication.

You might want to sign up with astrill. Greetings from China, we’ve been dealing with this shit for decades.

Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that’s often the only alternative.

I’m using bing.com/create (free access with an office 365 account) and then use prompts such as “create a simple black & white icon with broad lines for a mobile app depicting financial management”.

Modify the prompt a few times or run it a couple times in a row until I find something I like, maybe modify it a little in Photoshop, and done.

Didn’t you post it this morning already? I swear I’ve seen the exact same content earlier.

Sure. Foreigners aren’t really sanctioned though, that’s more of a risk for the locals. But even then usually only if they want to get someone disappeared and don’t have anything substantial against them.
