I just use ublock, but even if i didnt and used all the ones above that would be like what 5 min of my time, one time? Now you want me to directly download all the videos i may watch and somehow thats easier? Yeah im good, no ads for years now and thats all I want.
Or I can pay for YouTube premium because I watch a tremendous amount of content on YouTube and it also supports all the creators I watch at least a little bit, so I don’t have to subscribe to 25 patreons
on ios you can also use firefox focus, it doesn’t have ads on youtube, but iirc you can’t stay logged in because it doesn’t save cookies (tho that could be a positive depending on how you look at it)
vivaldi ios also didn’t have ads on youtube, but it’s been a while since i used it so it may have changed and it’s a pretty heavy browser in my experience
orion also supports firefox/chrome extensions but in my experience it’s adblocking (even with ublock) isn’t perfect. but again, it’s been a while so maybe it’s better now
I've never understood the hatred of shorts. They're perfect for pooping time
I have Opera just specifically for the purpose of watching YouTube since it can still run UBlock. I use chrome for everything else.
