To quote someone from HN:
It's really just uBlock Origin, a DNS blocker, and a few other small tweaks for YT. I use NewPipe on Android and Invidious instances. At this point I only see ads when setting up a VM and open the browser for the first time and forget I need to install uBO.
If you need SponsorBlock too, consider using PipePipe.
Grayjay.app also has sponsorblock and de-arrow built in
First time I've heard about GtayJay. Any reason you prefer it?
I like it because it syncs easily with GrayJay Desktop which works way more often than FreeTube does in my experience.
It also has built-in SponsorBlock and adblock without sacrificing functionality (a lot of NewPipe forks take a while to update after a change from YouTube).
It also has support for other things (Twitch, PeerTube, etc.) if you're into that.
Just installed, looks pretty nice and works well in my limited testing. I like that you can follow one creator and see their YouTube, Nebula, and Patreon videos in one place
