I posted this question because I once saw a tweet that said something like:

"If you use adblock, you don't care about creator's point blank"

What is your opinion on this? Do you agree with them?

Yes, uBlock Origin on Firefox and AdGuard on mobile devices. Can't live without adblock these days, especially for watching YouTube.

I realized I barely used Netflix so I got YouTube premium instead. No ads but I still support the videos I watch :)

Same here, uBlock on Firefox with my desktop. On mobile you should try youtube ReVanced.

How's revanced compare to Newpipe?

[โ€“] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Newpipe has different user interface. Revanced is exactly youtube with just modification to remove ads and add more function like sponsorblock

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Ah. I've gotten so used to Newpipe that the few times I used the real YouTube app it just pissed me off

uBlock Origin also works for the Firefox app on android. You can even enable background playback with an addon for YT.

I use it on Firefox for Android too. But for YouTube I just use ReVanced ๐Ÿ˜‰
