    Can you recommend any Firefox extensions to block promoted tweets? The only one I've ever tried turned out to be malware (even though it was in the Firefox repository fuuuu) and redirected my browser only to have my ass saved by MalwareBytes :agony-consuming:

    I've also recently configured a pihole server to provide network wide adblocking, but it doesn't seem to work against the promoted content on major websites (youtube, reddit, twitter) since they seem to have gotten wise to the adblock techniques.

      Idk if there is one, that's why I mentioned blocking brands so much throughout the years when I use mobile. I turned off personalized ad options within twitter settings and I almost never see add on desktop either. It's easily over 500 brands blocked by now probably. Any time I see an ad on mobile I just block the account

          you could probably find a twitter block chain as well for brands, i never used one tbh im a little sketched authorizing any app on my shit, but plenty of people do it, especially during the primaries, anyone following bernie or had tweeted anything relating to his campaign were mass blocked by libs lol

      In general if ublock origin and maybe a script blocker like noscript can't block it then there's a good chance it can't be blocked easily.
