Youtube is driving me loco with the ads

I guess you could switch to the HBTQ+ unfriendly browser Brave instead

Brave always seemed icky too me, but it may be I don't really like Chromium based browsers anymore anyways.

It will never be "fixed" Manifest v3 was made to diminish adblocker (and general addon) capabilities.

Well that's not what regular users want at all. We shouldn't have to keep fighting against this crap.

For those with Androids, you should use https://grayjay.app/

Thanks but I think I'll stick with Revanced for the time being. Since I do like read and leave comments and yet to see an third party app that can do that

Completely agreed, but these companies are too big to care about what users actually want these days. Which is why I prefer to stick to open-source projects. In most cases someone else will be bothered/care about the same issues I do (worst case scenario, modifying it myself IS a possibility).

I'm not a huge fan on Chromium-based browsers considering what Google has done with Chrome in the past.

Firefox + uBlock origin is a solid choice. There's Brave Browser too.

me when the ad company collects worrisome amount of data for ads

No, Firefox is a much better choice. Or go with Iridium Browser or Waterfox.

Default youtube experiance just sucks.

Can't use it without Ublock, Sponserblock, and clickbait remover to get rid of all the "pulling a stupid face with a red arrow" thumbnails. Even if you paid for premium, would still have to run sponserblock and clickbait remover.

Default Google sucks too. Ever try using their search engine without an adblocker? The first like page of results is fucking sponsered results. Bing is literally a better search engine than Google(and not just for porn), because Google ruined, well, Google so fucking much.

People treating Bing and other search engines like a disease lead to this.

Yea I recall the brave adblocker not blocking all the ads and popups

Hi. Inspired by your post I decided to try a new browser.

I just tried Waterfox and I am thinking of moving into it. it seems fast and nice. With uBlock origins ads seem under control... Would you say there's any reason I should instead consider moving to Iridium or plain Firefox?

Have no issues with uBlock Origin extension or a modded version of the Youtube app on Android/iOS

 

[Aergisgeist]

Freetube is a pretty cool client for Youtube. You can't log in, but you can follow/sub to people on it so they popup in your feed. I used it for awhile when youtube was blocking people with adblocks, but I've gotten past that and haven't used it in a bit

When you use brave and add an extension, it's just a chrome extension.

I'm using Firefox + ublock origin, hopefully firefox doesn't sell out and block ublock as long as they don't I'm good.
