    Firefox + ublock origin still works to block all YouTube ads

    Invidious is a frontend for YouTube that blocks all their trackers and ads

    PeerTube is an alternative community ran platform to replace YouTube in the future

      ff+ubo+privacy badger (ff on my distro suggested privacy badger, can’t remember exact number but when ubo blocks over ~1k privacy badger has like 2 - 4 on it, surprising me a little there are not more trackers) on pc, my phone has no adblocking atm and I know their info on me is wrong because all I do see are gambling ads and I have never gone to a gambling site, I don’t even get the scam game ads my gf does on her phone. One day I may try out one of the “delete my dam info” places just to see how much they really have on me

        Just use Firefox Mobile to watch YouTube.

        Ad blocking through uBO and can enable playing with locked screen.

      I really wanted to like and use Peertube more, but it’s so devoid of any content aside from political podcasts, as far as I can tell. I can’t tell if the search function is bad, or I’m using it wrong, or there really is just that little content. Any recommendations for Peertube content?

      Invidious sadly doesn’t allow for an account and subscriptions, at least not without running your own server which appears… complex.

        That part is working now

        I can load in my subscriptions.csv file from youtube into my subscriptions list on my Invidious account.

        And that all works through a web browser
