Before you say it: I do use Adblock on my computer but sometimes YouTube updates their site to make those not work, and sometimes I browse on my phone which doesn’t have Adblock
Mature porn: All parties discuss contraception, STI protection, and consent before playtime begins
Firefox + uBlock Origin on both desktop and phone = no ads for many years. Default settings on both, no extra work.
How does one get extensions on mobile? I went into Firefox and couldn’t see any extension section in the settings.
Youtube has ads?
Tubular = NewPipe with SponsorBlock built in for Android!
Freetube on desktop, Newpipe on mobile. I only use a web browser for youtube if Freetube/Newpipe is having issues.
I get these weird ones that have AI generated sounding audio of women talking about their husband’s premature ejaculation and his one weird trick! No idea what it was (other than whatever gas station boner pill shit they’re selling), I skip before then.
No criticism, just curious: why no ad block for the phone?
All I know is YouTube has more advanced ad delivery methods than DNS blocklists can filter, so you need client-level blocking. This only works if you use browser plugins or 3rd party client apps. YouTube’s first party app will always have ads.
Please correct me if I’m wrong, this is just my understanding.
It sounds like you have a level of understanding beyond me. I just have have browser ad blocking.
I don’t know how, my phone is old-ish and almost out of storage space, and I’d like to replace it with a new phone when I can decide on what suits my needs and I can splurge the money on it
That makes sense. Firefox has some good extensions, if you just want it browser-based on your phone, and f-droid has some whole-phone options. Just FYI in case you’re able to take advantage of one now or at some point in the future.
If you’re on android, revanced is pretty easy to get up and running, it takes the place of the YouTube app you already have installed so no worries about your limited storage space either
Sex
youtube revanced or newpipe. there’s options for those who believe.
Do you have ad personalization turned off? I have a theory that when you have ad personalization turned off YouTube will serve you the worst ads in hopes of driving you to turning on ad personalization.
Recently watched random vid and creator said he’s gotta be careful because, drums…youtube added a strike to video for adult content.
The only adult content in said video was youtube ad xD
ublock origin works on mobile firefox too. kist sayin.

I think UBlock Origin should be awarded a Nobel prize, btw. Also, this reminds me of that Black Mirror episode, where you pay for everything by watching ads, the screens are your apartment walls, and when you close your eyes to the ads, the screen detects it and starts a deafening alarm. This is the future we’re headed for if we don’t start paying for content again, now

I was about to say. I haven’t seen a YouTube ad in a decade between uBlock and Vanced. The updates are immediate.

15 million merits. That was a good episode. Always made me wonder what the outside world looked like to force people to ride a stationary bike all day for power generation.
