> The Pirate Bay is considered one of the worst pirate sites now

I'm curious. What are the best sites nowadays? Still torrents, right?

I used to be in the know but switched to legit things a while back so I wouldn't have to explain how dad is getting Bluey episodes.

May I recommend the excellent “top 10” list maintained by torrenfreak and updated yearly: https://torrentfreak.com/top-torrent-sites/

Ublock Origin (at least on Firefox, RIP Chromium users) makes all these problems go away instantly.

I use Ublock on Brave (chromium). Ublock is supposed to be unnecessary with brave alone, but I use it all the time to delete annoying UI elements mostly permanently.

Why anyone still uses vanilla Chrome for personal use is beyond me while brave exists and is actively maintained. It's essentially youtube premium for free even on mobile.

Well first of all, uBlock is a version that was sold to advertising companies many years ago, which is why uBlock Origin was created.

uBlock Origin is the one that Google blocked on Chrome by redesigning how extensions work, creating a big fuss. You could try uBlock Origin Lite but, well, it's called Lite for a reason, as it can't block as much stuff. Or you could switch to a browser that supports adblock extensions, which is Firefox.

[unselect5917]

I meant ublock origin. I use firefox and brave pretty interchangeably. Firefox is better in some ways but utterly infuriating in others.

Fun fact: internet speed tests have been reliably faster in firefox for years for whatever reason. And the volume boost extension I use there doesn't work in fullscreen on brave for some reason, which is mostly why I watch videos predominantly in firefox.

I just tested with chrome + ubo lite, and it worked perfectly fine with no ads.

People keep complaining about it, so I'd like to ask again... what websites aren't getting ads blocked by ubo lite? Everywhere I go, I haven't actually noticed any degradation in blocking capability.

[someonebaggy]

The Pirate Bay is also like that. Get uBlock Origin.

Don't you know it's always the smallest unstyled "Download" button that is the real one? The big green one has always redirected to spyware bullshit

IPT is far and away the best torrent tracker, but it's private and you need an invite (or pay a few bucks)

[someonebaggy]

IPT has a very bad reputation because it arbitrarily shakes down users for money (suddenly demanded to pay and banned if you don't) and attacks its competitors with DDoS, malware uploads, peer leaks, etc

[krupan]

Usenet, with radarr as your user interface. Yes, you'll have to pay (on top of what you pay for Internet access) for Usenet access, but it's cheaper than paying for multiple streaming services

[ChoGGi]

It still works fine, look for the little green? Skull next to the uploader. You can also import torrent sites into qbitorrent and search within it.
