  What youtube ads, I haven’t seen one in years, fortunately.

    When I watch YouTube on the Roku in my bedroom I see ads and it’s terrible. If I see a 30 second ad I go back and hit play again, usually I have to do that two or three times and then I get a 5-second skippable ad. Even then I’m often only two or three minutes into the video before it plays another ad.

      One reason I switched to android TV.

    Me neither, as I don’t use YouTube at all.

    I have to see them at school all the time, because our teacher’s don’t bother installing adblockers.

      Are you blocked from installing browser extensions?

      You should teach your teachers.

      Now I’m doubly disappointed in your teachers.

  Use the Brave browser and you won’t get any ads. Glorious.

    EDIT: Not reading any of the replies, so enjoy your circle jerk.

    That’s what I do as well when mozillatards begin questioning my browser choice thinking they’re better person than I am.

    Yup, it’s my backup if I need a chromium browser for something. I just don’t engage with the BAT nonsense and it’s about as good as a chromium browser can get IMO.

    Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is my main though, mostly because I want to support independent browser engines.

    Ublock Origin + Firefox fork :3

      Also a good option, but I like that Brave’s native adblocker works better without addons.

    Then you only have to endure the ignominy of using a browser from a homophobic anti-vaxxer

      I love that you’re self-righteously typing this out on a computer produced by slave labor, likely involving kids.

      You’re better than me for sure.

    Never use a browser that aggressively advertise itself.

  Pro-tip: Watch youtube on firefox/etc with a bunch of ad blockers. No ads.

    Ublock origin is enough :p

      Sponsor block is a nice extra though
