Theres a whole big internet out there. You don't have to limit yourself to one single company.
Sort of true, except YouTube. I watch almost exclusively YouTube few hours every day. If it opens by mistake in a browser, it is totally unwatchable with ads inserted even in short videos. I hope reVanced will manage to avoid detection somehow, otherwise it is quite hopeless. Yes, I can pay for premium, but the app will be full of stupid crap and no gesture controls.
Youtube in the Browser? uBlock Origin. Never have any ads.
Edit: I am on Firefox.
Same here. I have yet to experience any issues on firefox+ublock, newpipe, or revanced.
