    I was using libre tube for a while and that broke.

    What’s the best link for revanced?

      You have to patch it yourself, sorry.

      Youtube APK: www.apkmirror.com/wp-content/…/download.php?id=88… (Download this)

      ReVanced Manager: github.com/…/revanced-manager-1.24.0.apk (Patch the Youtube APK with this)

      Best link is to look up the Reddit page to find their links in the info bar. We shouldn’t be posting links here, or we might very well lose the privilege once Google catches on…

      Love libretube but it just wouldn’t play videos consistently. Ended up moving to grayjay

  I find funny, that after watching YouTube for not over an hour, my ublock icon already says >1k

    I’ve been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It’s a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer

      there is mv3 version of ubo here:
      github.com/uBlockOrigin/uBOL-home

      dunno how well it works on yt, though. i use dlp on a pc for the time or two a month i ‘need to’ look at a yt vid.

      adguard’s free browser extension is also mv3 compliant (for chrome). i think the old adblockplus (disable ‘acceptable ads’ and ignore offer to ‘upgrade’ to a paid version) is, too.

        “Not as well as uBlock Origin” is the answer to that.

        I got warnings to disable my ad blocker on my Chromebook recently, but did not get the same on my Linux desktop using Firefox.

        I really ought to get away from the default software on the Chromebook (Firefox via Crouton or Android or something), but it didn’t work well last time I tried.
