  And for everything it works on: just use Firefox with ublock origin!

    Add SponsorBlock for in-video sponsors while you’re at it!

      That takes actual money away from the actual creators though (instead of just the exec’s fat bank accounts), so use with some consideration. Don’t drain money from youtubers you enjoy.

        No it doesn’t; the creators have already been paid for their sponsorship. Sponsorblock just skips it the same as you would.

      Oh yeah duh. I just sometimes disable it because it can be wonky and skip important pieces with how tagging works.

    why would anyone watch YouTube without an ad blocker at this point

    You answered your own question in the actual post I think? Or what is your question? Do you have a question? There’s a question mark in your title. Do you want tips or to just rant?
