Yes, Mint is great… on the hole. In regards to the ads though, I, and Ryan Reynolds, and YouTube wholeheartedly disagree. I see almost as many of their ads as I do ones for St Jude’s. It’s like, I get it, kids get cancer, it’s sad as fuck, stop reminding me that it could happen to mine!
My software configuration is such that whenever I see a YouTube ad on some stranger’s device it is a violently disturbing event
Like wtf why does YouTube have ads now, these are really obnoxious
I’m not savvy enough to do all that. Let’s put it this way, I legitimately floated the idea of YouTube premium before trying to figure the complication that is configuring a different software setup for my entire network just to avoid the ads.
It is just uBlock origin, not some crazy thing
But yes I actually paid for Premium for like a couple of years; it is actually one of the most impactful in my experience in terms of those little “give us $7/mo to improve your internet in some minor way” services
