I have a dedicated server running nextcloud. So basically what a NAS does as well, without the proprietary part.
The compelling reason is simple. I can move data to nextcloud that I want to have a backup of (the data is nextcloud is so again backed up, using 3,2,1 principe). Reinstalling my operating system (Linux) is also much easier, I’m not afraid I might lose photos for example.
And sharing. I use nextcloud to easily share the data I want to share. Either within the household or even outside of that.
You want the truth? Setup OPNsense firewall on your network. Add EasyPrivacy, EasyList, AdGuard List and other blocklists to the Unbound DNS service on the OPNsense server.
Then configure your DHCP to use the OPNsense router/firewall IP (eg. 192.168.1.1) as DNS server in DHCP provisioned computers on your LAN network.
This is how I do it and it’s an enterprise setup, which works and scales really well.
Well you said:
but that’s the best that can be done on chrome
And I think the best use of such a plugin is actually to use it on Firefox. Since Firefox (or Firefox forks) still support Manifest v2. So actually ad-blocks on Chrome are worse, because Google created Manifest v3, which sounds newer… but it ACTUALLY worse. Manifest v3 basically disallow developer to block ads effectively. Just in the name of kugh kugh ‘privacy’ or ‘security’… Don’t get fooled by Google here!!
SO please do not use Google Chrome, they are killing ad-blockers by the introduction of Manifest v3. More info: https://www.xda-developers.com/google-chrome-manifest-v3-ad-blockers/
uh… no… The add-on was also developed for Firefox, which still have Manifest V2. Because of the headache of Mozilla, Hill decided to stop development for Mozilla and only release the latest (signed) add-on via github, without further updates. The developer just makes a statement that it’s getting so worse to develop for Firefox that he just doesn’t do it anymore.
You actually started calling them to go to hell.
Open discussions are of course fine, but your tone isn’t. Since we aren’t talking about handling different opinions now, you are just insulting people. So feel free to express any feedback you might have, but there is no need for insulting and swearing.

Agreed.
