minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up58·2 年前Not noticing this change from the EU… Guess they’re too afraid of pulling that shit here?
minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up21·2 年前Google LOVES A/B testing so it might be just that. I haven’t noticed anything either.
minus-squareVictor@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·2 年前True, could just be lucky. I still haven’t noticed any ad blocking changes either, but then again I’m using Firefox with μBlock Origin…
