A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

On my phone I watch via the Grayjay app (I used newpipe before, but it wasn't as reliable). If it asks me to login, I either use a VPN or watch YouTube in a Firefox-based browser with ublock. I haven't seen ads since years...
On my PC I also just use Firefox and ublock to watch without ads.
