My friend used to stream the occasional rugby match but none of the streams load any more on Brave browser and the streams are unwatchable with pop ups and new tabs opening using Chrome or Firefox.
Does anyone else have friends in need like I do?
Are my friends dodgy streaming days over?

I'm told that a vanilla Firefox installation with noscript and ublock origin might still work. Apparently a VPN is often required.
This dovetails with the recent news that Premier Sport is hoovering up Rugby contracts all over. Probably putting effort into stopping illegal streams at the same time.Niegs wrote: Fri Mar 21, 2025 10:07 pm My friend can't get the rugby streams to play but the women's soccer links his other friend watches always seem to work.![]()

My friend has found PS exceptionally difficult to find dodgy streams for the European games having decided another £70 sub was a bridge too far. The same friend has also discovered there are no pubs in SW Hertfordshire with a PS subscriptionSandstorm wrote: Fri Mar 21, 2025 10:13 pmThis dovetails with the recent news that Premier Sport is hoovering up Rugby contracts all over.

I run Firefox as my preferred browser, have done for years. I don't trust google to provide my browsing.
I've loaded the following add ons. I sometimes struggle to get a page or link to load and have to retry or 'time' my click to avoid the hotlinking... can be cumbersome but I'm still getting the content I want.

totally open to suggestions on anything better from anyone who has a friend who knows someone that saw something once

ublock origin is very good for my friend ( on firefox, chrome has blocked it and should be avoided)Guy Smiley wrote: Sat Mar 22, 2025 2:33 am I run Firefox as my preferred browser, have done for years. I don't trust google to provide my browsing.

“Facts are meaningless. You could use facts to prove anything that's even remotely true.”
Didn't work for me, er, my friend, his stream just wouldn't load with it active. That's when he tried AdBlock. I think.Insane_Homer wrote: Sat Mar 22, 2025 8:31 amuBlock Origin Lite still works on ChromeKawazaki wrote: Fri Mar 21, 2025 8:04 pmOxbow wrote: Fri Mar 21, 2025 7:56 pm My friend has managed to get it working after a bit of a struggle.

The amount of issues that can be resolved by blocking javascript and just enabling it for the sites that require it should not be inderestimated.

Not sure what the problem is here. Firefox or Vivaldi work fine without interference as long as you chuck inKawazaki wrote: Fri Mar 21, 2025 7:51 pm My friend used to stream the occasional rugby match but none of the streams load any more on Brave browser and the streams are unwatchable with pop ups and new tabs opening using Chrome or Firefox.

Trouble with blocking JS across the piece is it will break many sites entirely. I tend to use Greasemonkey with targeted scrip lists.Dinsdale Piranha wrote: Sat Mar 22, 2025 9:26 am The amount of issues that can be resolved by blocking javascript and just enabling it for the sites that require it should not be inderestimated.

No issues for me when using Vivaldi (my pref). I do find occasionally Firefox simply blocks everything, incl the stream.Dinsdale Piranha wrote: Sat Mar 22, 2025 11:48 amI am informed that those weren't working reliably yesterday.Torquemada 1420 wrote: Sat Mar 22, 2025 11:34 amNot sure what the problem is here.

Is the Rugby Championship still on Sky Sports in the UK?
I can get a discount to twenty five quid a month for a six month minimum subscription and if I start now I will get to see who is who in the Oz teams in Super Rugby, plus the Lions and then the RC if they still have it.
I get really fed up with steaming sites, they almost always fuck up for me and the pop ups and porn shite piss me off.

Hmmmmm…hard to tell at the moment. Lions Series is on Sky (schedule is already on their website), but TRC is showing on TNT website schedule. It’s not until mid August, so we may have to wait a bit.Tichtheid wrote: Mon May 05, 2025 7:31 pm Is the Rugby Championship still on Sky Sports in the UK?
