Average person here. I just want all my stuff to work with minimal intervention. And for me at least Google delivered. So that’s what I went with. I work too much to really care. I hate ads so I go with stuff like YouTube Premium, but for normal sites you have to stay on top of the latest methods and find workarounds to make ad blockers work perfectly. It’s just not a big enough inconvenience for me to dedicate what little time I have to deal with.
Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber

i don’t claim to have much computer knowledge, but people look at me like I have two heads when I suggest using a YouTube client without ads or download Blokada. Hell, the amount of people who don’t use Firefox (or a fork of it) and uBlock Origing are insane

I mean, it takes three minutes to switch to Firefox and maybe thirty seconds to install uBlock Origin, which generally works out of the box

Any good reccomendations for an alternate youtube client?

i use IgeBlock, it still has banner ads but tbh they don’t bother me
