So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the "x" and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the "Report issue" only for the dialogue box not to work.
I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷♂️
NewPipe has been my go-to for years. Available on F-Droid with regular updates.
There's a fork that has SponsorBlock integration, fyi. Get it on github and it requires manual updates but auto notifications. You can also use obtaimium to install it, and that will handle updates for you.
I thought NewPipe only worked with decentralized services? Does it work with YouTube proper?
yeah, it primarly works with centralized ones but it also supports PeerTube
I actually didn't realize it supported anything other than YouTube. TIL
