My first thread post did have a bad one:
sudo sed -i 'a/^B_
I'm sorry I'm so slow to respond... it's all a matter of trying to put aside

Since the problem is not so bad that I can't perform work with this computer,
a lot of other work-related things unfortunately have to take priority.

and in it set the driver "nvidia".

Last time I checked, most sites don't display properly with lynx because
they are not designed for text-based browses. All on the contrary, most
web sites are full of useless images, but nonetheless, not displaying
them breaks those sites.

Seriously, though, as much as you dread returning to lynx, it is the most

and are content with just plaintext (and separately downloadable images) you
should be safe. What's so bad about lynx?

It depends. In the case of the yahoo video mentioned above, the video
is served up from yahoo.com, so it isn't blocked unles

Okay so upon further reading it seems that it doesn't auto-play, but
still downloads the video, so that feature

manually by pressing the icon), the video does not play.

Interestingly, I would say that this is one of those cases that makes
the case for trademark. I cannot keep Adblock, Adblock Plus, uBlock, and
uBlock origin straight, and neither can most people.

I would say uBlock Origin -- it seems to be a better option to uBlock
from what I've heard.

Tor adds overhead because it is another layer of encapsulation (on top
of TCP/IP), it adds padding to messages (to improve confidentiality),
and it needs to transmit extra data because of its cryptographic design
(signatures, MAC, public keys). It doesn't seems like a good approach
since the go

NoScript will block the videos (you will want to configure it). You'll
also want AdBlock. Also go into Perferences in Firefox and set it up
for the most restrictive configuration you can tolerate.

It seems like NoScript will do the job. I think that it allows YouTube
by default once installed, but you can easily disable it after
installing (along with the other sites it enables by default). Since
most sites depend on JavaScript to embed videos, that will block most of
them. I don't know

The whole topic _is_ daunting. The best tool is HandBrake, available in
