I tried to watch a video on my phone's YT app, and ouch!
The ad is not only in the middle of a fucking sentence, but it also doesn't pause the video and hijacks the volume. And it interrupts all the fucking time, there were at least a dozen ads in a 1-hour video.
And also, the "rewind 5 seconds" button is not there anymore. And YT won't let you use another application while the video is running anymore. And if you move from the YT app for too long, it jumps right to the end of the video.
Yeah, I'm willing to use that shit while my ad-blocker unfucks it. The moment Google is successful in breaking that, I'm out.
firefox mobile + ubo + disable YouTube app. years of YouTube on my phone and not a single ad.
Or Revanced, link to youtube, just use youtube. No ads either.
Whatever works for you. I'd rather people use a dozen different ways to ad block youtube than watch youtube ads.
100%. This solution was the first I found, so I've just stuck with it.
