Piped is a website. Newpipe is an app. Both are front-ends for youtube, but obviously non-mobile users cannot access youtube videos on Newpipe when browsing on their computer. While they both serve more or less the same purpose (serving youtube videos without youtube’s tracking), they are fundamentally different in how they accomplish this.

This reminds me of the time Ubisoft developers decided to have a bitchfit about Elden Ring because it didn’t have any of the same shitty monetization or trash formulaic design choices as their games.

It’s like these developers think that because they’re painfully mediocre, every other studio is required to be as well.

The notification to enable enhanced safe browsing even shows up when you’re accessing Gmail on Firefox. It doesn’t even make any damn sense, this feature only works on Chrome. And of course they’ll never add a “don’t show again” option. Think I might just set Gmail to forward to my Proton account from now on.

Edit: found an article on how to forward to ProtonMail in case anyone else wants to know how. Seems very easy to do.

Huh, it never occurred to me to block the notification through uBO. I’ll make sure to do that the next time it shows up. Shame I can’t use the same method on the Gmail app to make it go away forever.

I actually did find and install the nightly version not long after making that comment. I still have it installed on my phone even now. I’m very satisfied with it so far, and have set github to notify me about new releases on the repo. Thanks for the reply.

I don’t think you understood me right. That option is on by default. It only shows upvotes when turned on, not upvotes and downvotes. Jerboa shows both in one place, Liftoff does not, regardless of whether that option is on or off.

So it does. This app also has a very slick UI that looks great, though I’m not a fan of the swipe gestures for everything model, and it appears to be impossible to go to someone’s profile from a comment, block the person, get the permalink for the comment, select text, or anything else the other apps can do. Gonna poke around in the settings and see if there’s something I’m missing here, but so far it’s missing a few too many features to be worth it, imo. Thanks for the suggestion though, always good to try new Lemmy apps.

It does not, at least not front and center the way Jerboa does. I found no option to show downvotes directly when I used it for about a week or so. I reinstalled it just now to see if that changed and it hasn’t. Only way to see downvotes is to press the 3 dots on a post or a comment, press “nerd stuff” then press “counts” to see upvotes and downvotes. This is an annoying hassle to have to do on every comment and post, and there’s no option to just show it in the UI instead of 3 menus deep.

Better yet, lock Musk in a room with all the employees he fired for no good reason.

I hate them both, but I hope Zucc beats the shit out of Musk. Assuming Musk doesn’t just back out like a coward anyway

Agreed, I’m really concerned about the fact that email verification and captchas are available but off by default. With the state of the internet now they really should be on by default.

Both should be turned on by default, imo.

Good to see someone else thought this feature. This would make the whole experience so much better.
