Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 5 weeks agoIf you use something Android based for watching YouTube on the TV (some TVs, fireTV stick, etc.), you can: github.com/yuliskov/SmartTube?tab=readme-ov-file
I haven’t watched a single Ad on YouTube on TV (SmartTube), mobile (ReVanced), or PC (Firefox + uBlock origin) since it became unbearable… five years ago or so?

Even on an iPhone, you can use vinegar to block YT ads. Or Firefox Focus.

+1 for Vinegar. My only real complaint is that I use Firefox as a daily driver, and Vinegar only works with Safari. Even though Firefox is using the Safari engine under the hood on iOS, (because Apple doesn’t allow third party browser engines,) it doesn’t support Safari extensions.
I’m fine with switching to Safari to watch YouTube… But since Firefox is my default browser, YouTube links automatically open in Firefox. There isn’t a way to specify that I want everything except YouTube to open in my default browser.

I feel you! Firefox Focus is my daily driver, but occasionally its adblocking doesn’t work on YouTube so I have to manually open it in Safari :c
