MODERATORS
you know what, i'm just gonna cancel the whole thing.
hope this was worth it for them.
Good luck. It’s been three days for me and it’s insufferable using it with ads. I’m not even actively looking through the app, just coming across videos for work and personal projects and I’m already fed up.
i'll setup vanced and try my luck with adblockers.
I don't mind tinkering with it to get it working.
For Android, LibreTube seems to be the best solution. You can also try NewPipe. On desktop, you can use FreeTube and if you want a reliable ad-blocking solution, it's best to switch to a browser that actually supports proper adblockers. MV2, the API used to block ads is not available in Chrome or Chromium-based browsers, so if you want proper adblocking, use Firefox or LibreWolf with uBlock Origin. Alternative frontends for YouTube like Piped or Invidious are also an option, you can use them in combination with LibRedirect to automatically redirect any YouTube link to the frontend of your choice.
Why these over ReVanced?
It requires the proprietary YouTube app that collects all of your data whereas all the apps and services I listed are free and open source as well as privacy-respecting.
I'll give them a try.
I do have NewPipe installed already, but I just use it to download a video if I need it.
Will try it out full time as well as the other app.
I use Seal for downloading YouTube videos on my phone
been using Libretube btw, very nice app.
I agree
If you're on mobile, try Newpipe. Been using it for years now without much issue.
For the above just Firefox via PC/MAC; But for normal content I was using AppleTV so a lot tougher.
Try Yattee with this guide
Interesting, I’ll take a look. Thanks.
I just use Firefox with uBlock Origin on mobile. Works great.
