Powerbook - Web Browsing & Youtube in 2020

[Dronecatcher]

Another of my occasional vids, this time focusing mostly on LWK...still a relatively easy ride on the web in 2020.
Note later in the video, the embedded Spotify player works without a problem - clearly there could be a way for PPC....

I agree. On the rare occasions I've used LWK, YouTube videos play pretty well but how can one banish those pesky pop-up ads, also on other web sites? It's for this reason I stick with a tweek'd TTF browser, but unfortunately no success with YTube on it.

NinjaKit/Viewtube and a custom Hosts file cuts out most of them

Hi guys,

You can use iCab relinked with LWK.
iCab has a built-in filter manager where you can add grease monkey like scripts and also
configure blocked sites, etc.
You can use the Ads Filter provided in the download. Although the last PPC compatible
version is 5.1.1 ( a bit old ) you can get the newest Ads Filter from the last intel build and
install that one as filters are not version/architecture related.

Best regards,

Have you got Viewtube working with it? I tried but it didn't work - however, taken from the latest Intel build, the download from Youtube filter works ok.

Hi Drone,

I'm posting my viewtube filter.
The greasemonkey script is not copy/paste into a filter file but it's
easy enough to change.
Take a look at it and see if you are able to apply the changes I made.

Best regards,

I'm posting my viewtube filter.

Doesn't work for me - I see, "Couldn't get any video..." message whilst audio plays.

EDIT: Could you supply the filter as a rtf file with the bit you altered in a different colour, then I could try and edit it?
