Check out Sponsor Block extension too, it’s really cool
Comment on YouTube warns it might make your viewing experience worse if you don't turn off your ad-blocker

Can’t possibly make it worse than shoving ads from hate groups. On my computer, I use Firefox with adblock, but on my phone and tablet I had been using the YouTube app until a few days ago. Google decided to show me a PragerU ad on mobile, so I decided to switch to Firefox mobile to watch YouTube. And the app either moved or removed the ‘don’t show this ad’ selection.

Fennec is Firefox for Android and it even supports uBlock, Dark Reader and others.

If you’re using android you might want to check out YouTube ReVanced.

If you log in, know that Google knows you’re using MicroG amd has the capacity to ban your account.
Not heard of any bans yet, but I’m probably close to ditching revanced soon because this is my primary email address and Google is getting more and more aggressive

I think what you have in mind is YouTube Vanced. ReVanced doesn’t use the MicroG Suite.

Even Walmart lets shoplifters return to their stores after like three years. Think about that, if you owned a shop, what would mean to welcome back as a customer someone who previously stole from you?
Not that blocking ads is stealing, that they need us a lot more than we need them. Can build the nicest, fanciest store around with all the best things for sale, doesn’t mean shit if nobody shops there.
If the experience gets any worse, I just won’t watch YouTube videos. I already watch way less than I used to when it was a cool video hosting platform, before it started enshitifying.

I’ve been using microg for ages both for voiced before it got shutdown by Google and for revanced
Nothing has happened to my account
Waluigis_Talking_Buttplug@lemmy.world 7 months ago
Yes, I said that, but there’s still the possibility. It’s explicitly against their terms of service and when you log into an account specifically to break their terms of service, they reserve the right to tell you to go fuck yourself
Just because they haven’t yet doesn’t mean they won’t. We’re entering a new era of enshitification
