NewPipe is my friend

Sorry, pardon?

I'm using a 3,5 months old version of PipePipe than magically somehow still works

The enemy of my adblocker blocker is my enemy cuz my adblocker is my friend

I haven't seen an ad on Youtube in several years, thanks to uBlock Origin.

I'm not worried. The minute the ad blockers stop working I'll finally be able to do something else with my time.

Just means I will find something else to watch. I’d pay for ad-free YouTube if it didn’t cost as much as HBO.

If they circumvent uBlock, then PeerTube, here I come

Same, also revanced on Android

I use SmartTube on my Nvidia Shield TV box and don't ever deal with any ads. It's appalling whenever I have to use vanilla YouTube for anything.

Yeah, close to probably 10 years for me.

Ssshhh...

For free?!

Most of YouTube is already a waste of time anyways.

I've been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It's a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer

I've been meaning to check out this "nature" thing, or whatever it's called. It's basically like, just lakes and woods and the sky and all kinda weird shit like that. Supposed to be pretty cool I guess, idk

Days ago I discovered vacuumtube for steam deck. It's basically youtube with tv interface but with all the adblocks. It works wonders in game mode and even has controller support.

Revanced

there is mv3 version of ubo here:
https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i 'need to' look at a yt vid.

adguard's free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable 'acceptable ads' and ignore offer to 'upgrade' to a paid version) is, too.

"Not as well as uBlock Origin" is the answer to that.

I got warnings to disable my ad blocker on my Chromebook recently, but did not get the same on my Linux desktop using Firefox.

I really ought to get away from the default software on the Chromebook (Firefox via Crouton or Android or something), but it didn't work well last time I tried.
