You can avoid ads if you use YouTube with the Vinegar extension.
I use that, too. Also features Picture in Picture, background playback, and the default video player.
I was completely unaware of Vinegar, so thank you very much for the info!
Do you by any chance know if this will be affected by the YouTube Adblock ban?
It cannot be
because it’s not an ad block per se but forces HTML?
No, it just fetches the raw video file. When YT places ads all they do is pause the vid, inject them thru another instance, then resume the original vid. The overlays are handled by YT imbedded player. Together this gives YT the ability to work sort of like a TV channel.
Regards to the plugin, YT has no idea you’re using it. You're literally side stepping them.
Ahh this makes sense - thank you very much for the explanation!
Do extensions run if I save the pages as webapps? I haven't gotten 1password to appear in kbin so I've assumed they don't work
what browser are you using? at least it works in firefox popups
Safari (iOS and Mac), and to clarify, I'm talking about web apps saved to my home screen / dock
I should give firefox a try again soon

It’s been a long time since I used YouTube in Safari because the quality just couldn’t compare to the app. Is it better nowadays?
Honestly I’ll do anything if it anything that helps me avoid ads.
