On windows, Firefox + uBlock Origin. On Mac and iOS, Safari + Adguard.
why not firefox + ublock on mac? safari's so obnoxious to use
I switched to this a few days ago, and it was working great till last night. Now youtube just comes up to the Ad Blocker Detected message and nothing plays. Edit Nevermind. I just discovered that Firefox had also installed AdBlock for some reason without my knowledge. I removed AdBlock and it works again.
Or use Orion, which is Safari but better
Plus Pi-hole on just about any device (just to be sure).
But it does not help against YouTube ads trough
