Dude, no one here is shocked or angry. There are just normal people calmly discussing ways to bypass yet another attempt from Google to stop AdBlockers. If anything, you’re the guy who spent the entire day yesterday screeching at people in another thread who don’t want to pay for YT Premium, and is still doing the same thing now, in a community dedicated to piracy no less. You just deleted the vast majority of your comments because you were too embarrassed when people called you out for licking the boots of a trillion-dollars corporation and being angry at other people who don’t want to follow your example.
Go touch some grass, it’s free (just like YouTube!).
Unpopular opinion but…who fucking cares? Youtube with ublock origin takes like 3 extra fucking seconds to load. 3 second delay is still worlds better than a 30+ second unskippable add. It’s not a big deal…
I have firefox and ublock and they’re not always working, so I just open the video url in any video player that supports it. In potplayer I just copy the video url and use ctrl+v in the main video window and it opens with no issues.
I use Baking Soda and Vinegar to convert all videos in Safari (macOS and iOS) to the native video player. Automatically selects the highest quality video available and skips ads.
You don’t have to jailbreak, you just have to use AltStore and “renew” the app every 7 days. It’s a bit of a pain in the ass in all honesty but it’s still better than watching ads.
I do sometimes find stuff I wanna watch when browsing through YouTube though, and the uYou app is really good. Even allows me to stream up to 4K and screen off etc.
Yattee is so much slower than uYOU. You can also go to any instance url on safari browser and add it to the homescreen and use inviduous as a webapp. But neither one works as good as uYOU when I’m out on the road.
There’s also Yattee for iOS on the App Store. It uses an Invidious instance and I guess because the piracy isn’t part of the app itself it passes the rules? There are plenty of public instances. It also has SponsorBlock built in.
YouTube is already a sedated, anaemic whale of a website. Adblock probably makes it run faster, given it usually removes stuff rather than add it. If you want speed, I recommend a frontend such as Invidious or Piped, it’s what I use on my weaker laptops where YouTube takes half a minute to load.
Invidious has a bug where it doesn’t update as frequently as it’s supposed to. I’ve had this issue on both my self hosted and public instances. I’m thinking about switching to freetube. Always hear about it but never tried it

I’ve always just spammed refresh as soon as it takes longer than 2 seconds to load and it usuaally goes back to normal.

Oh look, ANOTHER thread filled with users shocked that Google doesn’t give a damn about ad blocking customers.

Or Revanced - Sponsorblock is one of the packages you can patch into it.

ff2mpv adds a button in the addon bar and in the context menu to open a video in mpv. It’s awesome and removes the manual copy and pasting of the url.

Yes, use Newpipe
Isn’t it fun going down this road rather than fixing the need for ad blockers. (The ones beyond I’m just not interested)
The fbi recommends using adblockers which is amusing to me as Google is headquartered under their jurisdiction.
Drive by scams malicious scripts and straight up videos that google themselves would kill the account of a creator for.
And on top of that there’s only so many times in an hour I can watch an ad for raid shadow wallet in an hour before I need a suicide hotline
You’re going to get suicide booth ads if you don’t watch out.

I’m glad that last week I decided to ditch Youtube proper and use the Invidious frontend instead.
I <3 invidious. Was traveling recently and didn’t have access to my home invidious instance and WOW, yt sucks without it.
I use Twingate to access my home network externally. NetworkChuck has a good video on how it works and how to set up.
I use tailscale. Too easy to setup

firefox and ublock, which works for me. From what I have read this is happening to chrome users.
Or Newpipe
or Revanced
or Freetube.
yeah, FF with ublock, sponsorblock and return dislike on PC works fine.
revanced on mobile works perfectly as well.
youtube can stick it up their ass.

Or uYou on iOS
Or SmartTube on android TV
You don’t have to jailbreak an apple device anymore, side loading works?

Try Yattee: https://apps.apple.com/au/app/yattee/id1595136629

Also:
If you have access to an Apple dev account this is avoidable.
Even more of a pain for me because I am on Linux so have to spin up my Windows 11 VM just to use altstore.
There’s also Yattee for iOS on the App Store. It uses an Invidious instance and I guess because the piracy isn’t part of the app itself it passes the rules? There are plenty of public instances. It also has SponsorBlock built in.

Agreed, Invidious is so much lighter than YouTube that I’ve had sucess watching on onion instances via Tor.
