If I didn’t have adblocked devices I’d probably quit the internet. I don’t know how y’all live like that.
Laughs in Firefox
Gather round kids…
YouTube used to not have any sort of video ads whatsoever.
None. Zero.
Not even “sponsors”.
I just don’t want people to forget how it once was…
that was during the growth phase, we’re in the monopoly phase now…
I’m confused. I haven’t seen an ad on YouTube in like 7 years.
What’s your method? Some still randomly seep through for me
Firefox and uBlock Origin extension
Invidious + Freetube
Just use brave browser.
Chromium is a hard no, host your own DNS resolver and create your own blocklist.
Last I knew DNS blocking isn’t able to reliably block YouTube ads
No, but Invidious instances can. That was my response to “Just use brave browser”.
Invidious + Firefox + Managed DNS Resolver yields similar results to YouTube + Brave and is open source.

A thousand thousand people have said it before me, but it is still fucking insane to me that OEMs can just mandate what is installed and not installed on your device.
I had gone from a Galaxy S5 to a J7 Pro, to a Pixel 4a and now to a 7a. All of them only ever had custom ROMs while I owned them, so I completely skipped out on both this shit, and all other OEMs locking you out from the bootloader.
