Seriously just use Firefox for your browser and Revanced on mobile for youtube
I'm using FF with uBlock Origin on mobile, and I don't see ads.
I actually have that setup too, I just prefer a separate app personally. It's handy to have as a fallback though
I WON'T use FF and I DON'T use youtube. Like, at all.
why not?
Except for basically made-up edge cases and google integration (which you shouldnt use in the first place. Install a password manager), i havent seen anyone make a good case against Firefox. Googles anti-adblocking measures have made Chrome less safe and their current attempts to "DRM" the web points is absolutely devastating. If you use the Fediverse, its sensible to assume you care about a freer web. Google is working towards the exact opposite.
yeah, google is trying to wall off the web with only theirs or authorized browsers and systems having access to it. Also I made the mistake and looked at the commentor's history and... god damn is it full of shit and contradictions. Complaining about Firefox's CEO having a huge salary while they are defending the CEO of brave, a chromium browser with some web3 shit preinstalled. I don't get people.
okay
I can't understand youtube addiction, but fine. Everybody is free to waste their time as they prefer.
... says he, shouting at strangers on the internet who have a different opinion to his.
Legit curious why you won't use Firefox. As a longtime FF user I'm well aware that Mozilla has made plenty of stupid decisions, but how does that make Google a better choice?
To me, Mozilla and Google are the same shit. I hate them both. Mozilla is just smaller, but much more hypocritical. They haven't shipped anything of value since years. So, I'll put my small grain of sand to make them disappear not only refusing to use FF (after having been using a d advocating for it from 2002 to 2021) but also actively discouraging people from using it. Every FF user lost is a nail in the coffin of Mozilla and its stupid community and that's a good thing.
I'm not interested in engaging in a discussion on my personal choices, so I won't reply further. Bye.
