DuckDuckGo has added built-in YouTube ad blocking to its browser
“Tired of ads interrupting your videos? Us, too,”
The new feature blocks most ads that play before and during YouTube videos while keeping the normal YouTube experience, including watch history and playlists. It works on the YouTube website, not the YouTube app.
The feature is already enabled by default on iPhone, Windows, and Mac. Android users can turn it on manually for now, with automatic rollout coming soon.
The company also explained that it uses “community-driven filter lists sourced from uBlock Origin” alongside its own compatibility rules.

More reports why Sony is trying to end physical discs:
- They want to cut out the middle man, to make more profit per sale (like remove walmart cuts etc)
- Sony thinks the fanbase will not switch platforms, they can do what they please without losing fans
- They are convinced by ignoring this issue, they fans will just accept the changes and convert to 100% digital with time.
- Sony thinks they are "too big to have commination with fans". Talking to fans has no margin benefit, so they refuse to address fans and will keep doing so
I have lost all trust and goodwill with PlayStation, no words what is happening right now. Horrible company

Nintendo has announced that Mario Kart Tour will officially shut down on September 30, 2026 and the game will no longer be playable after that date.
As part of the shutdown:
>Paid Ruby sales have ended.
>Any Rubies players already own can still be used until the servers go offline.
>Gold Pass subscriptions are no longer available for new purchases or renewals.
Nintendo has not announced an offline version, so the game will become completely unplayable once the servers shut down.
