      I think people are fully misunderstanding this comment

    ReVanced is definitely worth mentioning, but I’m here to tell you that GrayJay is better.

    • ModsAreCopsACAB@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      GrayJay is a YouTube/Twitch/anything update away from breaking.

        How is that different from any other app? It’s being actively developed so any update breaking can be patched.

  …google.com/…/gbghmolkliahkeekflofoaiofibligjf could help as well.

    Just use a proper ad-blocker like uBlock Origin in combination with a browser like Firefox or LibreWolf that supports proper ad-blocking extension. Fuck this Chromium garbage that deprecated MV2 because Google is scared of adblockers. Don’t support Google’s monopoly on browser rendering engines and use Firefox or something even better like LibreWolf.

      Did you read what the addon is about? It’s not an adblocker but is to be used in conjunction with one. All it does is circumventing the adblockerblocker. It specifically recommends being used together with uBlock.

      Btw, I use FF with uBlock. But I am not everyone, so when I stumbled across this, I thought it might be helpful for some people.

        I know, but uBlock has built in circumvention features, and you can add custom blocking rules or filterlists to uBO without having to install an additional extension. If the addon becomes outdated, it might start interfering with uBlock Origin. It’s best not to combine uBO with any other ad-blocking addons and just use the existing mechanisms like custom rules and filterlists to extend uBO if needed. The uBO team is constantly working on ensuring that the built in circumvention mechanism works, most of the time, the only thing a user needs to do is clear the cache and update the filterlists.

        And I found it ironic, that Googles own extension store contains an extension that circumvents the YouTube adblockerblocker.

        It will probably be taken down soon lol

  Remember people start logging out for these services. Any day they could decided to start terminating accounts if this whole anti Adblocking campaign doesn’t get subscriber numbers up

  Tangential question - what is stopping youtube from restricting access to their API for 3rd party apps like Reddit did?

  Sideload uYouPlusExtra on iOS

  github.com/arichorn/uYouPlusExtra

  • netchami@sh.itjust.works ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    I am aware of this option, but sideloading on iOS currently kinda sucks. You have to use AltStore which sometimes goes unmaintained for a few months, even if it’s maintained it’s kinda buggy and the Windows version almost never works. It’s also not available for Linux. And you have to connect your phone to a computer running AltStore every 7 days, otherwise the app will stop functioning. It’s just not a great solution and especially bad for less tech-savvy users.

    • Rexios@lemm.ee ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      You don’t have to use AltStore. I re-sign the IPA myself and install with Apple Configurator

        But you still have to do it once a week, right?
