So it's ok to call students that are protesting against a genocide Nazis but not the people actually committing the genocide. Got it.

Fuck them. I'd rather donate quadruple the money for premium to my favourite creators directly than give a single penny to this parasitic mega corporation.
The issue is not only the ads, it's the stupid shit it throws you to keep you hooked, it's the stupid shorts that literally no one asked for, it's every stupid little thing that fights for your attention. Basically the app doesn't work for you, it works against you. That's not the case with third party apps, they have you, the user, in mind, not their profits.
Interesting thoughts. Personally I use a pocketbook to read. It's been pretty good with a red light backlight for the dark(that is gentle for the eyes before sleep) a built-in dictionary and the ability to export notes from books. This is everything I need in an ereader. Unfortunately it has a browser, some unnecessary small games and some other features that anyone who buys relatively expensive ereaders(hence is committed to reading books) won't possibly ever need.
But the unnecessary features won't bother you too much. The UI is clean and easy to navigate.
Pocketbook is not open source or anything, but at least I don't fund Amazon's monopoly, it's a smaller company and it's definitely value for money imo.
Good, your attention is a commodity, don't let advertisers steal it. We've been assaulted with enough ads in public spaces already.
I've actually encountered it a couple of times trying to access some Israeli sites. More specifically I've encountered it in Hareetz for sure and I think it was after I disabled the clearURLs extension that it was fixed. And another site that I still cannot access is the Israeli post. I've managed to access it after turning on VPN and trying a couple different locations, but it gives me this 403 error whenever I try to open it w/o VPN. And also on the same site, my antivirus has warned me about a JS/Agent.PIV threat a couple of times that I've tried to open it, not every time, but it has happened multiple times, as I've had to track an order for some days.
He was too innocent for this world. I don't know what to say other than I promise I will never forget him and that I'll try to spread his message and do everything I can to help free Palestine.
Why is it bad that it's been abandoned? It works fine for me. Are there security concerns or something?
Israel has become a cesspool of fascists and ultranationalists. Most of the sane people have fled the country a long time ago. Gideon Levy has said that peace and justice won't come from the Israeli society. The world needs to intervene and save what's left, that's it.
