Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.
Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.
I don't see any mention of the YouTube adblock trick, so from the vid:
Copy YouTube URL. Paste it in Bing and search. Scroll passed Bing's sponsored bullshit and click on the thumbnail for the video you searched. It will then play, still in Bing, with no ads.
So if you're on a work or government or w/e computer that doesn't allow installing adblock extensions, there ya go. No downloads or anything, just YouTube and Bing.
...this is the first time I've ever had any interest in using Bing, lol.
Invidious or viewtube are even better.
I run a local instance of invidious and it is…chefs kiss
A local instance can still link your IP to other Google activities, so it's not really private.
It's better to run it in a datacenter and use your instance with a few friends afaik.
You mean my VPNs IP
Interesting setup but that works too.
