I try and block everything all the time. the fight is real. PipePipe for youtube , Firefox + Ublock for web . Exploited firestick with Wolf Launcher and SmartTube on TV , Linux on all PCs , DeGoogled phone (wip) and Adguard DNS on the router. Windows PC's at work with copilot, onedrive removed and ooshutup10 . Also use a few modded apps such as Tubi with no ads and my sleep music app with no ads. Probably more ive forgotten but always open to suggestions and the work is never done.
Grayjay is better than PipePipe. I use Freetube on my computer. SmartTube is the best. I love that app so much.
I've heard of it but never tried. I'll give it a go. can I get it on F-droid ?. I don't use Youtube alot on my phone, I listen to the Wan show and do yoga every night haha Thank you!
