  • I just use it to airplay YouTube videos from my iPad which has it skip ads and sponsor segments with the sponsorblock segment without having to bother with the YouTube app. Don’t even have it installed. So it’s awesome in that area.

    I hate that extensions like sponsorblock are paid on safari probably because Apple chatges an annual $100 fee while other browsers don’t. I just use Firefox with addons I prefer like containers on desktop.


  • I don’t have a real life reference point for CRTs, so for me just going from these flat images to something that suddenly looked like there was more detail sold me on it. Prior to that my assumption had been old games on modern displays must be better until comparisons made me see how there was actually more attempts to be more than mspaint type pixel presentation back in the day.

    So these raw pixels look even less realistic to how the final product actually ended up coming out back on old devices to me. So between the two unrealistic options I prefer Crt filters now, and I in the past hadn’t liked them either thinking all people had wanted was scanlines.



  • To me raw pixels look like something out of mspaint and the crt one looks like there’s depth and more detail present. Something to maybe also consider is that these are close ups? Probably looks better further away same at it would be zooming in on pixels for modern day content.

    There’s also different crt filters that can lessen certain effects. Darkness stuff if this indeed a image of a crt screen isn’t really an issue with crt filter.
