Youtube is telling me daily that they'll soon disable my youtube because I have an ad blocker. Still waiting for it to actually happen.
For your web browser, don’t use Chrome. Use Firefox with uBlock, NoScript, Sponsorblock, and a VPN like Mullvad.
For Smart TV usage, block your TV’s built in “smart functionality” and its access to the internet via MAC address blacklist on your router. Also use SmartTubeNext on a Shield Pro with FLauncher instead of Google’s.
For mobile, use 3rd party YouTube clients on your device like Vanced on Android, and Unwatched on iOS.
