Umm no, NewPipe is not a website. That would be invidious/piped.

Idk if others are unaware, but there is a simple way to just google a video and not get ads. That is all i will say.

Vivaldi's stock built in ad blocking has still been working for me, have yet to see an ad.

YouTube is like a time killing drug. I'm trying to get rid of it. Any advice?

[-] Smokeydope@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

go through your subscriptions and get rid of the channels you aren't interested in anymore
export subs as .json and import them into Freetube for desktop pc and Newpipe for android. Invidious and piped instances such as https://vid.puffyan.us and https://piped.video also allow you to import subs. You can also import youtube subs into RSS feed readers.
go into your google account settings, nuke and turn off watch hiyostory, turn off targeted ads and anything else you see in there.
Repeat step 1 every so often and better curate your list of subs. Your feed only contains the videos you want to see first in formost and not what the algorithm wants you to see. When you do have to use youtube itself it will be limited in how much data it can collect off you.
