I recommend:

  1. Ublock
  2. Sponsor Block for Youtube
  3. Return Youtube Dislike
  4. Hide Shorts for Youtube (I actually like shorts, but only on my phone)
  5. Stylus
  6. Decentraleyes
  7. Don't Accept image/webp
  8. Rotate Image (rotates images in 90 degree increments)

Doesn't ublock handle the sponsors on YouTube? I never see those.

[–] killeronthecorner 10 points 10 months ago (2 children)

It removes ads but doesn't handle sponsored content that is included directly in the video

Maybe I'm thinking of revanced that is skipping the sponsors...

Just wanted to mention that Piped has SponsorBlock and DeArrow built in. It's also better for your privacy since you don't connect to Google servers directly.

Is there a website for this on desktop or do I need to compile it and run it as an app

There are multiple instances hosting Piped. You can look at the list of public instances and pick one you like: https://github.com/TeamPiped/Piped/wiki/Instances

I also recommend the Libredirect addon, which automatically redirects all YouTube links to Piped.

On Android you can use LibreTube, which also uses Piped.

On iOS you can set up Yattee with this guide to use Piped. But you can also just use it in the browser if you like.
