No ads here with adblocker + this. Anyway now I watch YT well with LightTube, or well on Desktop with MotionBox Video Browser or SMplayer. Faster, better quality and without any ad. FYT

I use it often, but sadly I also must use other front-ends, becuse not all YT videos are working or don't even appears in the searches (Invidious, Piped, PokeTube, ViewTube, DTube, Tubo.....). Hard work for devs like you to show the middle finger to YT, congrats.

Every time I think "maybe I'll buy youtube premium today" I see something like this and decide to insure ublock is updated.

If you go anti consumer I go anti company.
