I started getting the popups recently. Tried blocking the elements with uBlock, but in turn it would pause the video 2 seconds in. Pretty annoying. So I said screw it and installed an extension that would redirect the youtube watch page to an Invidious instance. Might as well make the transition now before they completely block adblockers for good. Screw Google!
Google’s pretty bad
Indeed. They are starting to piss me off with all their BS.
It’s pretty grim
What extension do you use to redirect youtube page?
Not the original commenter , but I'd think is Libredirect
Dang, had no idea this existed. Thanks!
Thanks!
Tampermonkey along with this userscript. Works a charm!
