    Don’t forget Enhancer for Youtube. A metric ton of Youtube customizations and quality of life features, also includes disabling shorts or converting them into the standard Youtube video format.

      Sounds like piped also has most of that. As a bonus, piped requires no account, no addons and no direct connection to google.

    How’s invidious? Aren’t they very similar?

      I never used it, but yeah I guess it’s basically the same. LibreTube, the Android App I use, just happens to use piped so I selfhost that and therefore also use it on the desktop.

  You convinced me, I’m totally adding this today! :)

  I also would throw in sponsorblock to that too - it skips all the “but first, Raid Shadow Legends…” “don’t forget to like share and subscribe” nonsense :)

    Interesting, I had to enable dearrow in ReVanced manually. It was disabled by default.

      Thinking about it, I would not put it past me to have set it and forgotten 😂 it’s been a while since I played about with the settings!

        The way I found about was, finding the Firefox extension first, which then motivated me to search for the config option

  Using uBlock Origin to get rid of the Youtube Shorts section of the sub feed was amazing for me. Are there other things you block too?

  source

  • deathmetal27@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Here’s a non exhaustive list of things I’ve blocked:

    • The pill strip on top with a list of video topics (don’t know what the official term is.)
    • YouTube shorts suggestions.
    • Ads that are injected into the suggestions.
    • “Shorts remixing this video” section in the video descriptions.

    I’ll perhaps share my ublock filter list for YouTube later.

      Thanks! I’m going to try these.

      Thanks for the list, I’ll be trying these!

      The pill strip on top with a list of video topics

      There’s one reason not to block this: all the way on the right of that list is a “new to you” feed button, which is pretty neat to try sometimes.

      • deathmetal27@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        Could you share the URL of that link? IMO, there should be a better way of presenting that than on the pill bar on the top.
