Have you been living under a rock or are you just using Firefox as your browser?
What is wrong with firefox?
I use firefox, been using it since the early 00s
ngmi
>t. chromecuck
Enjoy your ads next year.
nta but Brave is the decent choice
brave is just a chromium fork. Come next year, it also won't allow adblockers to work properly anymore, other than the built in one, which is vastly inferior to ublock.
>other than the built in one, which is vastly inferior to ublock.
0.001 chrome schekels have been deposited into yoru account.
Brave unironically does just that with their shitty Crypto lol also praising uBlock Origin is not preferring Chrome if it works better in Firefox and it will stop working on Chrome in 2 months
Why would you accuse me of being a chrome shill when I specifically are telling you that both chrome and all its chromium forks, which happens to include Brave, are going to be affected by the API changes come next year?. If anything, you can call me a Firefox shill, but I'm merely pointing out the fact that after 2022, Firefox and its forks will be the only mainstream browser left that allow full functionality of adblocker addons.
>when I specifically are telling you
Good morning sir please redeem the chrome
>he's a chrome shill because he's telling people chrome will stop supporting adblockers properly and they should use firefox instead
Did you receive brain damage as a kid or something?
how are they going to stop old versions from working lmao
adblockers will stop working properly January 1st, 2023 on Chromium browsers you should all start switching to Firefox I did weeks ago and it's fine, frick Google and their ads they won't get me
I remember when someone offhandedly mentioned in 2014 or so how ads on Youtube are shit
I genuinely had forgotten it even had ads, having used an adblocker since fricking 2005 or something
Damn I wish I could forget. I often use YT on my phone and I cant even get rid of every ad or issue with vanced and an adblock in a browser.
>I often use YT on my phone
zoom zoom
Look up ReVanced and NewPipe anon
Get newpipe from GitHub. Not the one on the app store, that one is a scam
Without being a moron
What exactly is teh issue with firefox
I is slightly slow on start up because of extension format and it does use a lot of ram but neither of them are an issue and both chrome or IE has much more shittier issues using it
The RAM thing stopped being relevant after Chrome started doing the same shit
>Chrome

Try reading the rest of the thread first, Black person
Or you can just tell us what le epic browser you use since you're clearly dying to brag about your superiority. Do it so you can leave and let the adults speak
https://blog.mozilla.org/mozilla/mozilla-information-trust-initiative-building-movement-fight-misinformation-online/
Did you actually try reading that? Or you just saw the word "fake news" and went into an outrage?
You think those types of "humans" read anything but the headlines of articles and then just interpret it how they want to?
Firefox was always the best option and after the adblocker changes will be even better so.
gayfox is woke
>not using librewolf
ISHIGGYDIGGY
a toast to the best browser
What's the search engine to use nowadays. Brave's results have been pretty shit lately. I don't know what changed but it never finds what I want it to find.
Google's removing all ad blockers in Chrome in 2023.
>browser made by trannies for trannies fighting for deplatforming
>"what is wrong with it"

>he did not mention about troons working in Google as well
But enough about google chrome
>anon jebaited into outing yourself as troony
many such cases, you love to see it.
Very brave of you to finally come out of the closet anon, but how is your homosexuality related to video games?
Have you been living under a rock? What fricking video games require a phone number you dumb ass?
2?
when even did the first one come out?
its never been so obvious just how many 3rd worlders were on Ganker until now
>give amazon your home address
ok
>give netflix your credit card number
ok
>give blizzard your phone number
NOOOOOOOO HOW DARE THEY? MUH PRIVACY
>amazon
They have to deliver things? Reasonable
>netflix
lmao as if I would give money to them
and Blizzard has to authenticate you as a real person so if you get banned you dont just make a new account
simple as
why do they need to do that? or ban me in the first place? It sounds like they don't want my money
>why do they need to do that?
Have you homosexuals fricking learnt nothing?
Pity (You), try making your b8 better next time
cool. why dont all studio emplyoees show up their numbers too so they can be "called out" on their bullshit
MUH PRIVACY
>>give amazon your home address
They come to my office building
>>give netflix your credit card number
I use paypal
>give blizzard your phone number
Frick them
What happens if you change your number?
>Send us your government issued photo ID and a bill with your address and name on it
This is what they demand from you when that happens.
Then they build your profile and sell it to a third party.
Who?
You don't know and never will.
>Someone somewhere has your information already, so just give it to anyone else that wants it
Go frick yourself zoomer Black person troony. Have fun when your identity gets stolen, no one will care or help you.
i havent changed my number since i got it in 2003, why the frick should i ever change it?
What's a Post-Paid phone?
Like Pre-paid but in reverse
You pay all your bills upfront so if you go beyond the amount of minutes or data usage you paid for you get shutoff
Imagine not having unlimited data
What does post paid mean? I don't speak american consumer
>use something
>pay for it at the end of the month
As opposed to prepaid
>pay for the months service in advance, usually with set usage limitations
And why a prepaid one would be ok for them?
Seem kinda arbitrary
You can still get prepaid sims without identifying yourself in many places.
it means not pre-paid aka on a contract with your name on it
>I don't speak american consumer
Not to be rude so early, but where do you live? This payment option is available in Latam, as well as the most third world country in Africa.
Poor indie company can't handle a DDOS for a 10 man arena shooter
>No underage or third worlders allowed
Whats the problem >wanting to play overwatch
it accepted my brazilian pre paid phone number with no problem. maybe its only in the USA that it isnt accepted
They only reason I have a phone is because paypal won't let me log in without SMS. I'm not paying 40 bucks a month to play overwatch-but-with-mtx.
I don't understand how this even works
It sends you a magic SMS message that requires another plan?
Do non-criminal people actually use prepaid? What the frick.
I was using it for decades, never felt a need to switch because I only used my phone for calls (pretty much only relatives) and messages
No smartphone either until last year
Guilty of the crime of being poor
Yeah if you're single it's cheaper to be on a prepaid plan because you can use just about any phone vs being a carrier cuck and locked down on phone on a certain network
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/overwatch/t/overwatch-2-launch-status-update/700480
guess the scandal is only language they understand, even wallet is powerless now
>who have played since June 9, 2021
So nobody?
Heh, i won.
This changes nothing, the majority of players will still need to give Blizzard their phone numbers and be using the correct companies and payment methods.
Online accounts that require user phone numbers is the stupidest thing ever and always has been.
I barely spend about 30 a year on calls/texts, post paid would be so wasteful.
What exactly stops someone else from using my phone number for this?
Pajeets call me night and day already to tell me my Microsoft Antivirus is infected.
I imagine it's to send an SMS to your phone in order to access the game. Otherwise you could just open a phonebook and put in a random number if all it wanted was a valid phone.
But users with prepaid can receive SMSes no problem
And Activision-Blizzard have decided the poors aren't worthy of their great game.
If you attach a phone number to your battle.net account you have to verify it by typing in the code they send you to that phone number
The phone number is used for both 2FA cancer and as to identify you in their data vendor's database.
report them to the fcc, there is a super basic form on their website where you can report spam/scammers and even input the times and numbers they use to call you so they can be tracked easier
i recall it took me all of 5 minutes to fill out the page once i located it and doesn't require making any sort of account with them
people already have your number as you already said, what difference does this make?
Good, cheaters are overwhelmingly poorgays and poorgays in general should be segregated away from the general population. I hope this becomes more common in the years to come.
>cheaters are overwhelmingly poorgays
Every undetectable cheat costs money tho.
I guess you haven't heard then.
Cheating is a service now that you pay for every month, or perhaps less often if you buy more time than that.
Poorgays can't cheat any more, and the cheats cost way more than phones do.
Your argument doesn't even apply.
>these FF shills shilling their slow as browser already
yea I know about ads blocker change, I'll switch to your slow shit when that comes out
Gundam Evolution awaits!
I think blizzcucks deserve this since they keep playing and paying blizzshit instead of just wanking to the porn.
What's with so many things trying to put up barriers to entry when you should be making your product as accessible as possible, real weird haha
Black person
if you make it accessible to everyone but you don't allow players to host their own servers and police them themselves it's gonna be a shitshow of cheating and strict moderation. nobody lets players have own servers anymore since they neeeeeeed to nickle and dime absolutely everything
I'm impressed that people defend this shit, god forbid they let go of the walled garden
It's actually a pretty shitty thing for Blizzard to do, but I don't think I even saw the prompt. Maybe because I had bought OW1?
They already ran it back 12 hours ago. Phone no longer needed
Jesus christ this how the frick can all you homosexuals be this fricking sheltered. How big of a rock do you dipshits live under?
watch out guys, we have a special little boy here
post the porn already
Worked with my prepaid phone.
>pre-paids not allowed.
So entire China, eastern Europe and all 3rd world countries won't be playing this particular Blizzard game.
>and all 3rd world countries
I know some guys from south america that have already played it
I live in a third world country and paid phone plans are extremely common. They're not a luxury.
third worlder here, in my country you can get a mobile contract for like $7 that includes a ton of GBs and unlimited data for social networks and music apps
no wonder the games have been better in general
>couldn't even play because of a major DDOS attack crippling the game on launch day
DDOS attacks are pretty common. But is like a 50/50 chance of Blizzard's server structure just not being up for the task of handling the launch of the OW2-update's regular player load. And then just blaming it on a DDOS attack.
It is fact that DDOS attacks happen often. But it is also fact that it is the go-to excuse for failing server structures.
I'll uninstall if i can't play tonight without waiting 15 minutes to get in
just demand community hosted servers and a server browser so there's no queues
but then it wouldn't be as easy for them to monitor you for subversive behavior
LOL NVM
still wont play get fricked
only if you were playing from July 2021
most people werent
does this actually work to stop bots? has any other f2p game done this?
This has nothing to do with whatever reasoning they gave for including it, they just want your data and to be able to instaban you across every game and social platform if you say a no no word
True it's just apart of their EGS/social credit score system they have in plan doesn't matter if you scream the Black personword online they don't care about that, they're more interested in your views of China/ ((certain)) conomic policies
Nah, it's probably to filter cheaters.
I've my phone linked to my CS:GO account (steam) and I've said Black person multiple times, and I've yet to be banned.
>no one reported me yet, guess that means i'll never get banned
moron
>be able to instaban you across every game and social platform if you say a no no word
If they cared this much, they would have automatic systems in place.
dota2 for ranked
how come people freak out about giving their phone numbers but not their credit card information to companies?
>why do people not want to give more information than necessary?
they don't need a phone number for you to purchase things, you brain dead homosexual.
it's necessary to help weed out cheaters. Let me guess you like people voting without identification too?
Its very funny because me, a hacker, will shit on your game day 1 using some good indian phone number while aimbotting you in the ass, completly undetected.
While you normies will have to give all your data to Blizzard just for the privilege of getting shit on by me. Beautiful.
>Blizzard really wants to destroy itself completly huh?
So naive...
I use a prepaid sim which ends up costing less than a euro per month. You might be moronic if you pay more than that, unless you really have a good reason to use mobile data.
Anyways, does blizz still need your phone number if you have actual paid games on the account?
Who gives a shit about overtrash, like seriously?
Dead on Arrival.
Not because of the phone thing.
It's definitely part of it
We designed Overwatch 2 to be a live service, which enables us to be responsive to a variety of player feedback. We have made the decision to remove phone number requirements for a majority of existing Overwatch players. Any Overwatch player with a connected Battle.net account, which includes all players who have played since June 9, 2021, will not have to provide a phone number to play. We are working to make this change and expect it to go live on Friday, October 7. We will update players once it is in effect.
Gundam wins
Missing out on a couple permatrolls on their free game wont sink blizzard.
what do i need to press to play?
i think bnet already got my number since it allowed me to play the mw22 beta with no problem but now ow2 is suddenly asking
i got in with a prepaid
>healing out her (somewhat flat) ass
>baptiste field 2.0
>extra damage on headshot for some unknown reason
>INSTANT MERCY SHIFT THROUGH WALLS
>cooldown reduction and buff to movement speed and firing rate in a frickhuge aoe
This b***h would have ruined the game faster than brigitte did, what the frick are these Black person devs thinking
Majority of players are dogshit with her though and she's not overpowered.
This is about getting your phone number, if they really cared about cheaters they would invest in an anticheat that doesnt suck ass
Dumbass.
Cheaters will cheat. Anti-cheat just inconveniences normal players. Denuvo
I have yet to see a bypass to a legit phone number.
This will get rid of cheaters near completely.
Use your brain.
>This will get rid of cheaters near completely.
lol
You cheat?
Blocked phone number.
And? What you gonna do?
>there is no way to bypass that
lol
>Avoiding the question
lol
>what you gonna do?
>bypass it
>answer the question!!!!!
moron lmao
Yup, you can't.
lol
You're too moronic to do it
>instant reply
cope and seethe lil guy
No answer.
Cope.
It will also get rid of their fricking playerbase
Anyone that still plays these kinds of games have below average IQ. They will happily input their phone numbers without any thoughts.
Blizzard going full mask off with their ties to ChiCom huh
holy fricking israeliteisraeliteshit.
imagine playing w*stern pozzware lmao
almost there
Registered just fine and I use Mint prepaid
>an actual literal (whites only) videogame

>We need your email address
Here's my email address [email protected]
>NOOO NOT THAT EMAIL ADDRESS IT NEEDS TO BE GMAIL OR OUTLOOK
>We need your phone number
Here's my phone number

What are they up to huh?
>NOOO NOT THAT EMAIL ADDRESS IT NEEDS TO BE GMAIL OR OUTLOOK
literally never happened, i signed up to battlenet with throwaway emails many times(got banned for cheating in warzone)
>literally never happened
moron thinks he meant just battlenet
>play trash game
>get trash experience
surprised pikachu face.jpg
I got pre-paid and still play the game, just don't be a third worlder
In what shitty country do they live in that they don't have a cheap mobile plan?
I pay 5€ a month for mine but that's not the issue. I don't want to give my phone number to blizzard. They have absolutely zero reason to have it. If it's for 2FA there's various other ways to achieve that.
>I don't want to give my phone number to blizzard
Don't do it then
I didn't do it that's why I'm here b***hing about it. I paid for the game and now suddenly after an update I can no longer play it.
You can play it, you're just too autistic to link your phonenumber to your account
I can't play it because they arbitrarily added a requirement that didn't use to exist.
You can easily pass the requirement, but you don't want to because you're an autist.
I'm a gamer. I don't have a fricking phone number. I play fricking videgames, Einstein
Ask your mommy to let you use her number
My mom is fricking dead. That's why I play videogames to cope
I would have killed myself too if you were my son, jesus christ.
good. hope you lose more in life, fricking homosexual. top kek!
You think yr so hot because you have fricking phones, you elitist pieces of shit. Yr videogame frickings sucks and is going to die, because buttholes like you ruined the fricking industry
Ganker truly is the worst board
you're all mean to each other for no reason
I'm glad most of you are fat virgins, you're as ugly inside as you are outside
>inb4 insults
I'm leaving the board forever don't bother.
The love you take is the love you make.
TF2 already outlived OW2
TF2 is dead though
blizztard Cope
Blizzard shills detected
TF2 died before Overwatch 1 even launched.
TF2 won
If Blizzard wants to get access to my phone number so they can make a profile they can sell, they should let me play their games for free, since they're already going to be making money off of me.
>Google chrome shilling worked so hard that people forget chrome is literally rewriting extensions to remove adblocker
who the frick doesn't have a phone in 2022
me
what a shit company holy frick, dont play overwatch but imagine giving a company your phone number to play a video game
