I used Youtube unhook in the past but before the AI craze so I’m probably good.

I know a lot of people use Dark Reader so that’s gotta hurt.

Other than that I think I’m safe.

The popular Dark Reader is not affected by this.

Only this knock off for the edge browser. Source

I see Dark Reader for Edge but not Firefox. Are they the same extension?

They seem to all link back to the same github page.

Edit: not the same one as on the list

This is from Mozilla

Dark Reader doesn’t show ads and doesn’t send user’s data anywhere. It is fully open-source https://github.com/darkreader/darkreader
