#Cleaner Apps for mac

[warningsine]

All right, since I bombarded a poor mutual yesterday...

Privacy is not security and security is not privacy. These terms are not interchangeable, but they are intrinsically linked.

While we're at this, anonymity =/= security either. For example, Tor provides the former, but not necessarily the latter, hence using Https is always essential.

It is impossible to have privacy without security, but you can have security without privacy.

A case in point is administrators being able to view any data they want due to their full-access rights to a system. That being said, there are ethics and policies that usually prevent such behavior.

Some general tips:

Operating System: Switch to Linux. Ubuntu and Linux Mint are widely used for a reason. Fedora too. And don't worry! You can keep your current operating system, apps and data. If you're on a Mac computer, you can easily partition your hard drive or SSD by using Disk Utility. If you're on Windows, you can follow this guide.

You want to go a step further? Go with Whonix or Tails. They're Linux distributions as well, but they're both aiming for security, not beauty so the interface might not be ideal for everyone. Many political activists and journalists use them.

You want anonymity? Then you need to familiarize yourself with Tor. Also, Tor and HTTPS and Tor’s weaknesses. When you're using it, don't log in to sites like Google, Facebook, Twitter etc. and make sure to stay away from Java and Javascript, because those things make you traceable.

Alternatives for dealing with censorship? i2p and Freenet.

Is ^ too much? Welp. All right. Let's see. The first step is to degoogle.

Switch to a user-friendly browser like Firefox (or better yet LibreWolf), Brave or Vivaldi. There are plenty of hardened browsers, but they can be overwhelming for a beginner.

Get an ad blocker like Ublock Origin.

Search Engine? StartPage or Duckduckgo. SearXNG too. Like I said degoogle.

Get a PGP encrypted e-mail. Check Protonmail out.

There's also Tutamail that doesn't cover PGP, but uses hybrid encryption that avoids some of the cons of PGP.

Skiff mail is also a decent option.

Use an e-mail aliasing service such as SimpleLogin or AnonAddy.

Check OpenPGP out. Claws Mail is a good e-mail client for Windows and Linux, Thunderbird for Mac OS.

Gpg4win is free and easy to use for anyone that wants to encrypt/decrypt e-mails.

Instead of Whatsapp, Facebook messenger, Telegram etc. use Signal for your encrypted insant messaging, voice and video calls.

Get a metadata cleaner.

Get a firewall like Opensnitch, Portmaster or Netguard which can block Internet for trackers.

Alternatively, go with a private DNS that blocks these trackers. NextDNS is a good paid service. Rethink a good free option.

Replace as many of your applications as you can with FOSS (free and open source) ones. Alternativeto can help you.

Always have automatic updates on. They are annoying af, I know, but they are necessary.

Keep your distance from outdated software.

Always have two-factor authentication (2FA) enabled.

Do not use your administrator account for casual stuff. If you're on Linux, you probably know you can be sudo, but not root.

On Linux distributions use AppArmor, but stay away from random antivirus scanners. Other distributions default to SELinux, which is less suited to a beginner.

Never repeat your passwords. If you can't remember them all, use a password manager like KeePass.

Encrypt your drive.

Honestly, VPNs have their uses and ProtonVPN, Mullvad and Windscribe are decent, but eh. If you don't trust your ISP, why would you trust the VPN provider that claims they don't log you when you can't verify such a thing?

How to Declutter Your Digital Space Without Lifting a Finger (Almost)

Digital clutter is sneaky. One day your phone and laptop are running smoothly, and the next, your desktop looks like a file explosion and your cloud storage is screaming for mercy.

The good news? You don’t need to spend hours cleaning it all up.

If you’ve already peeked at the lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life, this guide takes it a step further. These strategies are so effortless, it’s almost like you're not doing anything at all — just the way we like it.

1. Automate Your Cloud Storage Cleanup

Cloud platforms like Google Drive or Dropbox offer easy-to-use filters and automation tools. You can set them to auto-delete trash, auto-archive old files, or even color-label folders for visual clarity.

Try this lazy trick: Use Google Workspace’s "Storage Management" tool to bulk delete large files, duplicates, and old backups.

2. Use Smart Tools Like “Cleanfox” for Your Inbox

Manual unsubscribing is so last year. Tools like Cleanfox or Leave Me Alone scan your inbox, show you a list of all newsletters and subscriptions, and let you unsubscribe with a swipe or click.

Bonus points: They also show you how much CO₂ you save by decluttering your inbox. Lazy + eco-friendly? Yes please.

3. Schedule Your Phone to Auto-Delete Old Media

Most smartphones let you auto-delete photos, screenshots, or downloaded files after a set period. In iOS, enable Optimize iPhone Storage; on Android, use Files by Google to clean junk files in seconds.

Pair this habit with the mindset from the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life, and you’ve got a phone that runs smoother without you lifting a finger.

4. Use “Stack” Apps to Organize Notes and Docs Automatically

Apps like Evernote, Notion, or OneNote allow auto-tagging, sorting, and folder rules.

Lazy Genius Tip: Set up templates or automations so that every new note is filed where it belongs — without you doing it manually.

5. Let Your Browser Clean Itself

Use browser extensions like:

OneTab: Closes all open tabs and saves them in a list

Tab Suspender: Auto-pauses inactive tabs

History AutoDelete: Keeps your browser history from becoming a hoarder's paradise

It’s a solid sidekick to the habits in the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life post.

6. Set Recurring Reminders That Actually Work

The key word here is “recurring.” Instead of relying on memory, set monthly 10-minute digital cleanup reminders on your calendar. Automate the repeat, and you’ll never have to remember it again.

Use tools like:

Google Calendar (with reminders and checklists)

TickTick or Todoist (with smart recurring tasks)

Siri or Google Assistant (voice commands FTW)

7. Auto-Sort Downloads Using Folder Rules

Tools like Hazel (Mac) or File Juggler (Windows) can auto-organize your downloads folder based on file type, name, or date.

For example:

Move PDFs to Documents

Send images to Pictures

Trash zip files after 24 hours

This lazy automation turns chaos into calm without constant manual effort.

8. Delete Duplicate Files With a Click

Duplicate files = wasted space. Use tools like:

Gemini 2 (Mac)

CCleaner (Windows)

Duplicate Cleaner Free

These apps scan and clean up your hard drive or cloud storage with minimal interaction — perfect for lazy geniuses like us.

9. Use a Dashboard to See Everything at a Glance

Use Notion or Trello to build a minimalist dashboard of your digital world — to-dos, file links, notes, calendar, and tools all in one spot. Bonus: once it’s built, you just update it here and there.

Pair this with any technique from the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life and you’ll become the CEO of calm.

10. Empty the Trash — Automatically

Set your system or cloud service to auto-empty the trash every 30 days. No emotional attachment needed.

Go to your system settings or storage settings (Google Drive, iCloud, etc.) and toggle on the auto-delete function.

Final Thoughts: It’s Not About Working Hard — It’s About Working Smart

Decluttering your digital life doesn't have to be a marathon. With these smart, nearly hands-off hacks, your devices can stay organized while you go do... well, anything else.

Think of this post as a deeper dive into the top 10 lazy but genius ways to organize your digital life — because the lazier the hack, the better the result.

This makes sense given that it’s probably the last significant update before to the September 2024 release of iOS 18. Let’s examine what iOS 17.6 has in store for us:

Apple TV’s Catch Up for Sports Fans app

The Apple TV app’s “Catch Up” feature is the most noteworthy change to iOS 17.6. By letting people watch critical moments and highlights from live games they stayed up late to watch, this appeals to sports fans. Get directly into the action instead of waiting to watch the entire match from the start! Now incorporated into the larger Apple TV app, this capability was first unveiled with the MLS Season Pass.

Enhancements to Performance and Stability:

iOS 17.6 seems to be primarily focused on optimising system speed and resolving any remaining bugs. Ensuring a seamless and effective user experience is crucial. Better energy optimisation, more fluid animations, and faster app launches are all to be expected.

Possibility of Undiscovered Jewels:

Even though there haven’t been many features disclosed other than Catch Up, Apple frequently includes some surprises in their final releases. Look for ways to improve the functionality that is already there or make minor adjustments to the user interface.

A Preview of iOS 18

The real excitement is probably in what Apple has in store for a iOS 18, as iOS 17.6 is probably just a polishing update. iOS could witness notable developments in the following areas:

More Personalisation:

iOS 18 may offer more iPhone customisation possibilities as customisation becomes increasingly popular. This includes better lock screen control, widget customisation, and ringtone and notification sound customisation.

Improved Features for Health & Fitness

Apple has long placed a strong emphasis on health and wellness with its products, and iOS 18 may bring further features that make the most of the iPhone‘s potential. Consider cutting-edge stress management techniques, sleep tracking, or even smart gym equipment integration.

Integration of AR and VR

AR and VR can revolutionise technology despite their youth. Apple may improve ARKit and RealityKit frameworks for developers in iOS 18 to create more immersive experiences.

App Store Updates and Enhancements

The App Store may get a makeover to make it simpler to browse across various categories and find high-quality apps. Additionally, they might see updates to the apps themselves, such enhanced multitasking or more connection with Apple’s ecosystem.

Pay Attention to Security and Privacy

iOS 18 is probably going to carry on Apple’s well-known tradition of prioritising customer privacy. More tools to enable users to regulate their online profile, tighter controls over app permissions, and improvements to data protection features are all possible.

Conclusion

Apple’s second public beta of iOS 17.6 shows its dedication to user experience through creative features, performance enhancements, and better security. Users may shape iOS’s future and get early access to new features by joining the beta programme. Apple is refining iOS 17.6 based on user feedback to create a strong and feature-rich operating system that suits the different needs of its worldwide user base.

How to Clear Trash on Mac in 4 different Ways

Managing storage efficiently is essential for maintaining the performance and organization of your Mac. One of the simplest ways to free up space is by regularly emptying your Trash. The Trash can hold a significant amount of deleted files, and over time, this can accumulate and take up valuable disk space. Regularly clearing the Trash not only helps reclaim storage but also keeps your system running smoothly, preventing potential slowdowns caused by an overloaded hard drive. In this guide, we will explore four different methods to clear Trash on Mac, ensuring that you can choose the one that best fits your workflow and preferences.

Whether you prefer a straightforward approach using Finder, a quick solution with Terminal commands, a scheduled cleanup with Automator, or a secure deletion process, we've got you covered. Each method is outlined with step-by-step instructions to help you efficiently manage your Mac's storage. By the end of this guide, you'll be equipped with the knowledge to clear Trash on Mac and keep it clutter-free and operating at its best. Let's dive into these four techniques and discover how easy it is to clear Trash on Mac and keep your storage optimized.

What is Trash on Mac?

On a Mac, the "Trash" is a special folder where files and folders are temporarily stored after you delete them. It's similar to the Recycle Bin in Windows. When you move an item to the Trash, it's not immediately and permanently deleted from your storage drive; instead, it remains in the Trash folder, allowing you to recover it later if you change your mind. Here's an overview of its functions and why you need to empty it:

Functions of Trash

Temporary Storage: The Trash provides a holding area for deleted files and folders, giving you a safety net to recover items if you delete them accidentally.

Recovery Option: You can easily restore items from the Trash to their original location or any other location on your Mac.

Organization: The Trash helps in managing files by letting you group all deletions in one place before deciding to permanently remove them.

Why You Need to Empty Trash

Free Up Disk Space: Files in the Trash still occupy disk space. Emptying the Trash removes these files from your storage drive, freeing up space for other data and applications.

System Performance: Keeping the Trash empty can help maintain optimal system performance, especially if the Trash contains large files or a large number of files.

Privacy and Security: Permanently deleting files from the Trash ensures that sensitive or personal data cannot be easily recovered, protecting your privacy and security.

Housekeeping: Regularly emptying the Trash helps keep your system organized and prevents it from getting cluttered with unnecessary files.

How to Empty Trash on a Mac That Won’t Delete: 4 Ways

Way 1. Macube Cleaner

Macube Cleaner is a powerful and efficient utility designed to help Mac users effortlessly free up gigabytes of storage space. It provides a comprehensive solution to clear system junk, caches, logs, and, importantly, securely empty the Trash on Mac. With a user-friendly interface and advanced features, Macube ensures that your Mac remains in optimal condition, improving performance and reclaiming valuable disk space. The software offers a 7-day free trial with full functionality and is compatible with macOS 10.11 or later.

Key Features:

Clean System Junk:

Quickly clears system caches, user logs, and outdated system logs to free up space and enhance performance. By regularly removing these files, your Mac can run more smoothly and efficiently.

Smart Scan:

Utilizes an industry-leading algorithm for fast, powerful, and secure scanning. The Smart Scan feature locates junk files across the entire Mac, providing an efficient way to clean up and optimize your storage.

App Cache Removal:

Deletes unnecessary files generated by apps, freeing up additional storage space. This feature ensures that old and unused app data does not clog up your system.

Other Storage Cleanup:

Sorts out and cleans mysterious “Other Storage” files, including caches, archives, and system files, to reclaim more disk space. This helps demystify the "Other" category in your storage and keeps it under control.

Securely Empty Trash on Mac:

Ensures that deleted files are permanently removed from the Trash, freeing up space and preventing data recovery. This feature is essential for maintaining privacy and maximizing available storage on your Mac.

Large and Old Files Finder:

Identifies large and old files that take up significant space, helping users decide what to keep and what to remove. This helps you manage your storage more effectively and remove unnecessary files.

Application Uninstaller:

Completely removes apps and their associated files to ensure no residual data is left behind. This thorough uninstallation process helps keep your system clean and organized.

Duplicate Finder:

Detects and deletes duplicate files and images, saving space and organizing your storage. This feature is particularly useful for cleaning up redundant data and maintaining an orderly file system.

Privacy Protection:

Clears cookies and browsing histories to protect user privacy. This feature is crucial for maintaining security and preventing tracking by websites.

How to Use:

Step 1: Download and Open Macube Cleaner

Begin by downloading and opening Macube Cleaner, a specialized application for cleaning junk files on Mac. This software aids in pinpointing and eliminating redundant files from your system.

Step 2: Execute a Smart Scan

With Macube Cleaner active, select the "Smart Scan" option. This feature will thoroughly scan your Mac, identifying all unnecessary data such as cache and temporary files. The scan will highlight files that are safe to remove, helping to optimize your system's performance.

Step 3: Clear the Trash

Once the scan is finished, go to the Trash section in Macube Cleaner. Review the items listed and click "Clean" to completely empty the Trash. If you prefer to delete only certain files, select those specific items before proceeding with the cleaning.

Pros and Cons 

Pros

Enhanced Security: Ensures deleted files are completely overwritten and unrecoverable.

User-Friendly Interface: Intuitive design makes it easy to navigate and use.

Comprehensive Toolset: Offers additional features for overall system optimization and maintenance.

Way 2. Using Terminal

Clearing the Trash on a Mac using Terminal is a quick and effective method to delete unwanted files that might not empty properly through the Finder. This approach is particularly useful for troubleshooting issues related to the Trash.

How to Use:

Step 1: Access Terminal 

Start by opening the Terminal application. You can find it in the Utilities folder within Applications, or use Spotlight (Cmd + Space) to search for "Terminal".

Step 2: Execute Commands 

Navigate to the Trash directory by typing cd ~/.Trash. To delete all items in the Trash, use rm -rf *. This command removes all files and folders within the Trash directory.

Step 3: Confirmation and Administrative Privileges 

Ensure the process completes without errors. If issues arise, you can use sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash/* and enter your administrator password when prompted.

Pros and Cons  

Pros:

Efficiency: Clears Trash instantly, bypassing graphical processes.

Effectiveness: Can delete stubborn files that Finder struggles to remove.

Cons:

Data Loss Risk: Files deleted via Terminal cannot be recovered from the Trash.

Caution Required: Misuse of commands can lead to unintentional deletion of important files.

Way 3. Using Finder Preferences:

Keeping your Mac tidy and optimizing disk space is crucial for smooth performance. One effective way to manage your Trash is through Finder Preferences, which offers an automated solution for emptying the Trash after 30 days. This ensures your Trash stays clear without needing manual intervention.

How to use

Step 1: Access Finder Preferences

Open Finder either from your Dock or by clicking on your desktop.

Navigate to the top menu bar, click on "Finder," and select "Preferences" from the dropdown.

Step 2: Activate Automatic Trash Removal

Within the Finder Preferences window, switch to the "Advanced" tab.

Check the box next to "Remove items from the Trash after 30 days."

Pros and Cons

Pros

Automated Maintenance: Keeps your Trash clear without manual effort.

Space Optimization: Efficiently manages disk space by regularly deleting old files.

Ease of Use: Simple setup with no ongoing maintenance required.

Cons

Delayed Deletion: Files stay in the Trash for 30 days before removal.

Limited Control: Less control over individual item deletion timing since it's automated.

Way 4. Safe Mode:

Clearing unwanted files from a Mac can sometimes prove challenging, especially when certain files refuse to be deleted. One effective method to tackle this issue is using Safe Mode, which temporarily disables certain software and processes that could hinder file deletion.

How to Use  

Step 1: Restart in Safe Mode

Shut Down Your Mac: Click on the Apple menu and select "Shut Down".

Start in Safe Mode: Press the power button, then immediately hold down the Shift key until you see the login window with "Safe Boot" displayed in the top-right corner.

Step 2: Empty the Trash

Open the Trash: Click on the Trash icon located in the Dock.

Empty the Trash: Right-click on the Trash window and choose "Empty Trash". Confirm your action when prompted.

Step 3: Restart Normally

Restart Your Mac: Click on the Apple menu and select "Restart" to exit Safe Mode and return your Mac to its regular operation mode.

Pros and Cons 

Pros:

Effective Deletion: Safe Mode can delete files that are otherwise stubborn due to active system processes or applications.

Enhanced Safety: By disabling unnecessary processes, Safe Mode reduces the chance of software conflicts during file deletion.

Cons:

Performance Impact: Safe Mode may run slower because it disables certain drivers and limits functionality temporarily.

Accessibility Issues: Some users might find the process of entering Safe Mode inconvenient, especially if it needs to be done frequently.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, effectively managing your Mac's storage by regularly clearing the Trash is crucial for maintaining optimal performance and organization. This guide has explored four distinct methods using Finder, Terminal commands, Automator, and Safe Mode—that cater to different user preferences and scenarios. Each method offers a straightforward approach to reclaiming disk space and ensuring that deleted files are either securely removed or managed automatically. 

By incorporating these techniques into your routine, you can streamline maintenance tasks and keep your Mac running smoothly, free from the clutter that can impede performance. Whether you opt for the simplicity of Finder's preferences or the versatility of Terminal commands, taking proactive steps to clear Trash ensures your system remains efficient and responsive for your everyday tasks.

Adulting 101: Essential Life Skills Every College Student Needs

Congrats on making it to college! It's an exciting time for learning, growing, and…adulting. Yes, adulting. Don't worry, you're not alone in this. Mastering these practical skills will set you up for success, both in your dorm room and beyond.

Budgeting 101: Ramen Noodles Don't Have to Be Your Staple

Let's be real, college life can be tight on cash. But fear not, budgeting doesn't have to be a complex spreadsheet nightmare. Here's the lowdown:

Track your expenses: Keep a record of everything you spend, from groceries to that spontaneous late-night pizza (we've all been there). There are budgeting apps or even a simple notebook that works wonders.

Prioritize needs over wants: Rent, food, and textbooks come first. That new video game can wait, especially if it throws your budget off track.

Set realistic spending limits: Be honest with yourself about how much you can realistically afford for fun stuff. Sticking to these limits will save you the stress of ramen-only weeks.

Conquering the Kitchen: Beyond Instant Mac and Cheese

Eating healthy and saving money can go hand-in-hand. Here's how to become a kitchen whiz (without setting off the fire alarm):

Meal prep is your friend: Plan your meals for the week and cook in batches. Leftovers become delicious lunches, and you'll resist the urge to grab unhealthy takeout when you have pre-made options.

Start simple: Master basic recipes like pasta dishes, stir-fries, and baked goods. These can be easily adapted to your budget and dietary needs.

Embrace leftovers: Get creative with your leftovers! Leftover chicken can become a salad topping, and roasted veggies can be transformed into a frittata.

Laundry: The Unsung Hero of Adulting

Let's face it, laundry isn't glamorous. But mastering this skill keeps you looking (and smelling) fresh. Here's the laundry lowdown:

Learn to identify fabric care symbols: This will prevent your favorite shirt from shrinking in the dryer.

Separate lights from darks: This simple step keeps your clothes looking their best.

Don't overload the washer or dryer: This makes your clothes cleaner and prevents them from wearing out prematurely.

Bonus Skills: Adulting All-Stars

These additional skills will have you feeling like a real grown-up:

Time management: Learn to prioritize tasks and create a schedule. This will help you stay on top of your studies, social life, and that ever-growing pile of laundry.

Basic car maintenance: Knowing how to change a flat tire or check your oil can save you time and money.

Simple home repairs: Learn how to fix a leaky faucet or tighten a loose screw. You'll be surprised at what you can accomplish with a screwdriver and a YouTube tutorial.

Remember, adulting is a journey, not a destination. There will be mishaps (burnt dinners, anyone?), but that's okay. Embrace the learning process, and you'll be a pro in no time! Now go forth, conquer those adulting challenges, and make the most of your college experience!

How to Remove Ads from Facebook

Facebook, with its vast user base and engaging content, has become an integral part of our daily lives. However, the omnipresence of ads on the platform can be a source of annoyance for many users. If you're tired of the constant barrage of advertisements disrupting your scrolling experience, fear not – there are ways to regain control. In this article, we'll explore five effective methods to remove ads from Facebook and enjoy a cleaner, distraction-free browsing experience.

Part 1: Why Remove Facebook Ads?

1.1 Distraction-Free Browsing Facebook's ad algorithms are designed to display content based on user behavior, interests, and demographics. While this personalization aims to make ads more relevant, it can often result in a barrage of sponsored content, causing distractions and disrupting the overall browsing experience. Removing ads allows users to focus on the content that matters most to them – updates from friends and family. 1.2 Privacy Concerns Ads on Facebook are often targeted based on user data collected by the platform. Some users may find this level of personalization unsettling, raising concerns about their online privacy. By removing ads, individuals can take a step towards minimizing the data points that contribute to targeted advertising. 1.3 Improved Page Loading Times Ads, especially those with multimedia content, can significantly slow down page loading times. For users on slower internet connections or less powerful devices, this can be a frustrating experience. Removing ads can lead to faster loading times, creating a smoother and more efficient browsing experience. 1.4 Aesthetic Preferences Every user has a unique preference for how they want their Facebook feed to look. Some find the ads seamlessly integrated into their feed, while others find them visually disruptive. Removing ads allows users to curate their feed according to their aesthetic preferences, creating a more enjoyable and personalized social media space.

Part 2: Five Effective Methods To Remove Ads From Facebook

2.1: Ad Blocker Extensions: Taking Control of Your Browser The most straightforward method to eliminate ads on Facebook is by using ad blocker extensions for your web browser. Popular browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari support a variety of ad-blocking extensions that can significantly enhance your online experience. Here's how you can do it: - Chrome: - Open the Chrome Web Store and search for an ad blocker extension, such as "AdBlock" or "uBlock Origin." - Click on the extension of your choice and select "Add to Chrome." - Confirm the installation, and the extension will be added to your browser. - Firefox: - Navigate to the Firefox Add-ons website and search for an ad blocker like "uBlock Origin" or "AdBlock Plus." - Click on the extension and select "Add to Firefox." - After installation, restart your browser to activate the ad blocker. - Safari: - Open the Mac App Store and search for an ad blocker extension like "AdGuard" or "uBlock Origin." - Click on the extension, and then click "Get" to install it. - Once installed, open Safari, go to Preferences, select Extensions, and enable the ad blocker. By using ad blocker extensions, you can customize your browsing experience and filter out unwanted ads on Facebook and other websites. 2.2: Facebook Ad Preferences: Tailoring Ads to Your Liking Facebook allows users to control the types of ads they see through the Ad Preferences settings. While this method won't remove all ads, it can help tailor them to better match your interests. Here's how to access and customize your ad preferences: - Desktop: - Click on the downward arrow in the top-right corner of Facebook and select "Settings & Privacy," then choose "Settings." - In the left sidebar, click on "Ads." - Explore and adjust your ad settings, including Ad Preferences, Ad Settings, and Advertisers and Businesses. - Mobile: - Open the Facebook app and tap the three horizontal lines in the bottom-right corner. - Scroll down and select "Settings & Privacy," then choose "Settings." - Tap on "Ads" and adjust your preferences under Ad Preferences, Ad Settings, and Advertisers and Businesses. By customizing your ad preferences, you can at least make the ads you encounter on Facebook more relevant and interesting. 2.3: Facebook AdBlock: Targeting Ads Within Facebook If you prefer a more specific approach to removing ads within the Facebook platform itself, using browser extensions like "Facebook AdBlock" can be a game-changer. This extension is designed to target ads specifically on Facebook, giving you control over the appearance of ads on your feed. Here's how you can use Facebook AdBlock: - Install Facebook AdBlock: - Visit the Chrome Web Store and search for "Facebook AdBlock" or a similar extension. - Add the extension to your Chrome browser. - Enable and Customize: - Once installed, click on the extension icon in your browser toolbar. - Customize the settings to suit your preferences.

One such application is Social Fixer, a browser extension compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and other browsers. Here's how to use Social Fixer to remove ads from Facebook: - Install Social Fixer: - Visit the Social Fixer website (socialfixer.com) and download the extension for your preferred browser. - Follow the installation instructions provided on the website. - Customize Your Experience: - After installation, open Facebook in your browser, and you'll see a gear icon labeled "Social Fixer" in the top-right corner. - Click on the gear icon to access the settings menu and customize your Facebook experience.

This can help prevent certain types of ads from appearing. - Firefox: - Open the Firefox menu and select "Options." - Go to the "Privacy & Security" tab and scroll down to the "Permissions" section. - Check the box next to "Block pop-up windows" to prevent unwanted pop-up ads. - Safari: - Open Safari and go to Preferences. - Select the "Websites" tab and click on "Pop-up Windows" in the left sidebar. - Adjust the settings to either block all pop-up windows or allow them on a per-website basis.

Part 3: Frequently Asked Questions

3.1 Is it Against Facebook's Terms of Service? As of the last available information (knowledge cutoff in January 2022), using ad blockers or browser extensions to remove ads from Facebook is not explicitly against the platform's terms of service. However, it's essential to stay updated with Facebook's policies, as they can change over time. Users should use these tools responsibly and in compliance with the platform's guidelines. 3.2 Will Removing Ads Affect the Content I See? Removing ads will not impact the organic content generated by friends and pages you follow. The primary purpose of ad blockers is to filter out sponsored content and display only the user-generated content on your feed. You will still see updates, photos, and posts from your connections as usual. 3.3 Can I Customize the Types of Ads I See Without Removing Them? Yes, Facebook provides users with the option to customize their ad preferences. By accessing the Ad Preferences settings in your account, you can adjust the type of ads you see based on your interests, demographics, and online behavior. While this won't remove all ads, it can help tailor them to be more relevant and aligned with your preferences. 3.4 Will Removing Ads Affect the Revenue of Content Creators? Content creators, including bloggers, influencers, and businesses, rely on advertising revenue to sustain their online presence. While using ad blockers removes the sponsored content from your view, it doesn't directly impact the revenue generated by content creators. Users who wish to support their favorite creators can do so by engaging with their content and, when applicable, disabling ad blockers on specific websites. 3.5 Can I Remove Ads on the Facebook Mobile App? Yes, ad blockers and browser extensions are available for mobile browsers, allowing users to remove or minimize ads when accessing Facebook through their smartphones or tablets. However, the process may vary depending on the mobile browser and operating system.

Part 4: Responsible Ad Blocking

While the methods mentioned above can significantly reduce or eliminate ads on Facebook, users should approach ad blocking responsibly. Here are some considerations: 4.1 Respect Platform Guidelines Users should familiarize themselves with the terms of service and community guidelines of the social media platform. While as of the last update, using ad blockers on Facebook is generally accepted, users should stay informed about any changes in policies. 4.2 Support Content Creators Content creators, including bloggers, vloggers, and businesses, often rely on advertising revenue to sustain their online presence. Users who appreciate and want to support the content they consume should consider alternative ways of supporting their favorite creators, such as engaging with their content or disabling ad blockers on specific websites. 4.3 Stay Informed About Updates Technology and platform policies evolve over time. Users should stay informed about updates to browser extensions, ad blockers, and platform policies to ensure they are using the most effective and up-to-date tools.

Conclusion: How to Remove Ads from Facebook

In conclusion, reclaiming your Facebook feed from unwanted advertisements is a matter of choice and customization. By employing a combination of ad blocker extensions, adjusting Facebook ad preferences, using platform-specific ad blockers like Facebook AdBlock, exploring third-party applications like Social Fixer, and fine-tuning browser settings, you can curate an ad-free or at least ad-minimized Facebook experience. It's important to note that while these methods can significantly reduce the visibility of ads, they may not eliminate all forms of advertising on the platform. Furthermore, it's essential to respect the terms of service of the platform and to use these tools responsibly.

9 Quick Ways to Stop Your Macbook Overheating

Does your MacBook sound like an airplane taking off as soon as you boot it up? Does it feel like you could fry an egg on it? Do you sometimes notice your MacBook starts to run slow and will often take a long time to respond? If this sounds familiar, you should fix this problem as soon as possible! But how?

Now let’s have a look over some of the simplest methods to fix the battery overheating issue of your MacBook. Take a deep dive in!

01 Restart Your Mac

The simple technique of restarting your Mac may miraculously stop it from overheating. If your Mac has been running for too long, it is possible that it accumulates too many background activities. Restarting your Mac at this point can terminate all those activities and processes that cause overheating. Restarting is like refreshment for electronic devices, and your Mac is not excluded.

02 Check the Vents of Your Mac

Check the vents of your Mac and make sure that they are free from dusts. When dusts accumulate around the vents of your Mac, they can block the vents from allowing the circulation of air. In this case, you should take your Mac to an authorized engineer to professionally clean the vents.

03 Make Sure Your Room Is Well Ventilated

Sometimes, we can liken our electronic devices to our bodies. These gadgets and electronics give you their best at the right temperature. Therefore, wherever you decide to use your Mac, be it your bedroom, sitting room or office, make sure that it is well ventilated. You can do this by tuning the air conditioner to the right temperature, or opening the windows to allow free and fresh air in. 10 to 30 degree Celsius is okay for your Mac to run smoothly without overheating.

04 Use the Official Mac Adapter

If you damaged your in-box adapter recently, and you bought a new one from an unauthorized store, chances are that the adapter will not be compatible with your Mac. If you use an incompatible adapter with your system, apart from damaging your battery, it can also cause your Mac to overheat. It is always best to replace any part of your Mac, including the adapter from an official and authorized Apple store. They are professionals that will give you an original adapter that will work perfectly with your Mac.

05 Update Your Mac

We tend to overlook the impact of system updates on our Mac; but the truth is, each new system update comes with security patches and bug fixes that will improve the general performance of your system. When you fail to update your system, everything becomes old and stale, with junks residing in unwanted places on your system. All these, put together, cause your system to lag and overheat in the long run. To avoid this, simply go to your system’s settings and make sure that all the drives and software components are up to date.

06 Clear Your CPU

You may have too many apps that run in the background, or run at startup, eating up your CPU resources. To remedy this, try to abort and terminate the activities, especially the ones that are not important. Doing this will reduce the tasks on your CPU that are causing your Mac to overheat. You can also select the apps that will run at startup.

07 Clear Junks and Remove Malwares

Over time, when we use our systems, they accumulate junks that can have a negative impact on the general performance of our macs. Also, some websites we visit install malicious apps on our systems without our consent. With one tap, you can remove all these unwanted junks and malicious apps from your Mac with Cleaner apps. The app allows you to selectively and safely delete junk files to get your Mac performing at its peak without overheating.

08 Never block the air vents

No matter how tempting, it’s a bad idea to use a MacBook in bed or to put it on your lap or stomach. When you do this, you cover the air vents and stop the fans from cooling down the processor.

So the easiest way to prevent overheating is to use your MacBook on a hard, flat surface, giving it plenty of ventilation. A desk or a table will do far better than your lap.

09 Reset the System Management Controller (SMC)

If your Mac is still overheating after doing all of the above, then it is time to reset the SMC. This is usually the last on the list of things to do when your Mac won’t stop overheating before considering paying Apple store a visit.

If Nothing Has Worked: Contact a Trusted MacBook Repair Centre

This is an extensive guide listing some of the ways users can solve the MacBook overheating problems on their own. However, it isn’t necessary that it will solve the MacBook heating issue for every user.
