Ruan Xiaohuan is a Chinese dissident, blogger, and InfoSec specialist. In 2009, Ruan started a blog named ProgramThink on Blogger, covering various topics from network security, methods to bypass the internet blockade in mainland China, to his own political views and critics of the Chinese Communist Party and the government. He was captured on 10 May 2021, and then formally arrested on 17 June 2021, for ‘inciting subversion of state power’.
The case is due for a second-instance trial on May 22, but the Chinese government has prevented his family from appointing a lawyer for him. His wife would like people to pay more attention to the case.

YouTube has started blocking ad blockers.
YouTube Premium subscribership grew to a record 80 million users in 2022, and Google responded by investing more into its subscription offerings.
Recently, one Redditor encountered a popup informing them that "Ad blockers are not allowed on YouTube" and offered a button to "Allow YouTube ads" in their ad blocking software.
This experiment could be a sign of things to come, as Google has long been at odds with ad blockers and wants to ensure that the only way to not see ads is by shelling out $12 a month for a Premium membership.

Install any add-on in Firefox beta for Android
Once set up according to the contents of the links, you can use any add-on you like on your Android browser, including uBlacklist and Unlock BingAI mentioned earlier in this channel.
Firefox beta and all the Fenix forks (Fennec F-Droid Browser, Iceraven Browser, Mull Browser) support the same addons. So if you think the Firefox beta and nightly versions are unstable, you can use these alternatives. They're also set up the same as Firefox, and I'd recommend you try using Fennec.
