Well, it seems to be official now. Starting April 14, 2025 Google will update its Unfair advantage policy to say it is allowed to show the same ad, from the same company, going to the same page, as long as the ad is in a different ad location. Google was just experimenting with double serving ads earlier and now it is officially going to be allowed.

SmartTube

I love SmartTube. Every time someone comes over and they want to play something via YouTube, they're like: "holy fuck, no ads? skipping straight to music part? this is divine technology"

Right! Why is an adblocker such a foreign concept to the bulk of humanity.

SmartTube is the best. There was a small period of time recently where it stopped working and it was so bad going back to regular YT that I just stopped watching entirely.

Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be designed to work without an account.

I think I remember being able to switch to anonymous user with it.

Just checked, sounds like that program isn't working anymore.

I can’t find it on my Roku or AppleTV or TIZEN or WebOS.
