    If they would only accept PayPal as a payment service, there should be no problems with customers using VPN:s or other kinds of privacy protection tools. They even claim themselves that "Should PayPal ever integrate into Shopify Payments, something we do not have control over, it will be made available at that time". From what I understand after reading on Shopify's and PayPal's websites, PayPal is already integrated into Shopify Payments: https://newsroom.paypal-corp.com/20...ower-a-portion-of-Shopify-Payments-in-the-U-S

    I don't feel safe using my own credit or debit cards when buying things online, so if an online store doesn't have PayPal, I don't buy from them.

    If you want to get rid of those "Adblockers are not permitted" messages and be able to watch YouTube without issues, try using Brave. You don't need to install any third-party adblockers, everything is integrated into Brave from the get-go. The only thing you might want to do is to go through the default Brave Shield and other privacy settings before you begin using it. The stock default settings should block all ads on YouTube and other sites, but I don't think it blocks third-party cookies by default (can't remember though).

    Please take another look at his first picture/post; Brave is not allowed there!

    Because YOU are complaining at first.
    It is not an "opinion".

    And now you are on my "ignore" list.
    Bye !

    what is this childish "i'll put you on ignore!" attitude lately
    if you don't care about the information he provided, just ignore the thread?? he shared some info that people might find useful, what's the problem? and yes, he is complaining, so what? it's in his right.
    these posts, on the other hand, are useless and out of place. especially in this thread bcause he shared a valid concern..
    it disheartens me to see this attitude in this place.

    There is no point in having some lengthy discussion about a problem someone has created for themselves and then wants to argue point by point while ignoring anything others have to say about the condition which they have created themselves. "They can't tell me what to do with my computer, so I'm going to tell them what they should do with their website". Good luck with that logic.

    If someone wants to construct a moat around their house and fill it with alligators, and then wants to cry about it they cannot get back into their house, you are welcome to discuss that with someone all you want. And of course, you are more than welcome to take your own advice. bye.

    clone you're a smart dude.. all i'm asking is, does it help anybody saying "ok im ignoring you"? just avoid the thread. negativity breeds more negativity.
    maybe thanks to this topic someone realised that the IRs were available somewhere else. or someone investigating more about this company has now realised that they don't allow vpns or whatever. in any case, the mate is sharing information.. u dont have to listen to his complaints, thats all.. have a good day you all :)

    If you read my reply again, you will see that I was talking about YouTube (OT, I know), not OwnHammer's website. Even though I wasn't even talking about OwnHammer, you can use Brave to access their website. Just disable "Block fingerprinting" in Brave Shields for the OwnHammer website and it works without problems.

    On Chrome, Edge works fine.

    This is all but a disingenuous if not outright malicious attempt to conceal their monetization of their website traffic and customers.

    I would ask for a refund - disengage from such people - but to your other point, frankly iLok gets an unfairly super bad rap (due to it early teething pains no doubt).

    I've not had any iLok issues for 10+ years now. Can't think of any of my peers who has either. It's so entirely transparent to my workflow now that I don't even think about it (and I use a mix of all three methods of location/authentication). It's a very mature solution - technologically - secure, robust and agile. For a flat $40 fee (or however much they charge now), it's hard to argue against.
    Hard to argue against that too.

    The .com domain did not let the cat out of the bag on that one? I mean, who knew?

    Hmm. Works for me at least. Do you have any privacy extensions running in Brave?

    You could also try deleting stored data related to the Ownhammer website, close Brave, open a new session and go to Ownhammer's website. It probably won't do anything, but it's the default answer that Brave support gives when someone is experiencing issues related to just about anything.
