There are tons of profanity filter extensions on chrome you can use. But if it's for nudity & violence, vidangel

Who’s mad? It’s just overpriced for me. I’d pay by the movie or show but not

Seems like a fair price to me. It sounds like a few dollars might be

Depends on if your own personal morals for TV shows outweigh your desire to be honest

I don’t use it but isn’t the new vid angel completley legal?

They do not have permission from Netflix (and likely others).

It is legal.

How does the fact that the first version was explicitly illegal make this second version definitively legal?

TCuz

1/25/22 8:25am

First off, it isn't a streaming service that rents movies anymore. This is what

Right, that is what got them in trouble in the first place. That doesn’t make their new version approved

You keep saying they are breaking terms of service. Do you have a quote or link

Is it currently breaking terms of service? Or is that a problem that doesn’t …

Joe Banks

Yes, it breaks Netflix’s Terms of Service and they do not have permission to access and modify Netflix content.

TCuz

1/25/22 8:19am

I thought it was legal regardless of what Netflix may or may not say about it.

Netflix keeps accepting my money. So I guess they are cool with it.

Serious question. Do you get notified when people post on CB about Vidangel?

Seems like a fair price for what they do. But it may not be worth it to you.

You're concerned about $10 per month to take out the trash?
