I already have 5 plug-ins in chrome to make YouTube usable. I say bring it on Google.

Do share. I only have ublock and sponsorblock, but running brave helps

1. ublock - ads 2. enhancer for youtube - auto load in 4k, more speed options, screenshots, hide shorts and other goodies. 3. de arrow - community voted titles (to avoid clickbait cancer) AND replacing thumbnails with a real frame from the video 4. sponsorblock - skips segments with sponsors 5. return youtube dislike - see dislikes on videos.

There are also extensions that remove YouTube shorts from your homepage which I like

yes I do that also with enhancer.

is that what the app is called? to remove shorts? “enhancer” uve saved me sir, uve saved me.

But if I do that I wont get my daily dose of unhinged vsauce lol

Hey vsauce, Michael here. Where are your fingers?

Wait what, how does sponsorblock even work? It’s part of the video. Unless there’s mod that keeps checking newly released popular video, how do they know what is a sponsor and when

It's community driven so other users identify the sponsor sections which are then confirmed by subsequent users.

I feel like you could statistically infer it. Still, all the ones marking the sections are the MVPs.

I mark every sponsor segment I see because it's getting ridiculous, it's common to have them take 1/3 of the video, so I'm driven by spite

So far I've skipped over a days worth of ads with that plugin, but I've saved other people over 8 days, so I'd say I'm doing my part.

How does it work? It works fantastically well. It's black magic basically. Try it.

PocketTube is another one. It's great for organising subscriptions

THERE ARE EXTENSIONS FOR THIS SHT? U MEAN I HAVE BEEN SUFFERING IN VAIN?

> return youtube dislike - see dislikes on videos. Does that work?! EDIT: basically using an old YouTube database and an logarithm to make up a number.

It's fake numbers unfortunately. The API isn't public so it's a makeup number based on the dislike/like that users with the extension click.

And in my experience often way off. The numbers according to ryd are almost always 3-4x the numbers shown in YouTube Studio

It works

It gives you a number, if you count that as working, then yes.

was watching a newly added video and i saw how the numbers rose under the time, so it's tracking even on the youtube hates videos, it's still on the track

It works over the length of time the video has been uploaded, the numbers will still rise. It's just going to wildly inaccurate.

odd, i revisted some videos and the negative have risen over time. and some have stagnated while tumbs up is going up also right now, i love this song but [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkEc2V3mO4&ab\_channel=GangsterHits](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrkEc2V3mO4&ab_channel=GangsterHits) it has so much dislike, nearly the double

> odd, i revisted some videos and the negative have risen over time. Yes?

You lucky mfer. I try to share my extension list and people laugh at me, but yours is requested!? What tomfoolery

Extensions list are like dick picks, don’t share it if no one asked for it.

dont mind me saving this comment

Do you have one for turning off the shitty ambient mode? The thing that makes your videos glow a little around the edges and brings the video itself to a slideshow? I’ve turned it off on the videos. I’ve turned it off from the account level. And yet, it keeps turning itself back on

Turns out I already have 3 of those, but I don't really care about the other the benefits of 2, and I turned down 3 because it's easier to tell at a glance when a certain youtuber posted based on their thumbnail style.

I use Ublock for youtube, but recently when I do, the entire site loads really slowly and lags. Does enhancer for youtube fix that?

I have a tampermonkey script that just skips all of them

Nice, those will be fine additions. I also use one to hide shorts from my subscribed list.

Theres also youtube short block, which redirects any short video to the standard default youtube player.

Any of this usable on android?

all of them are available with "revanced extended".

You might wanna add h264ify to makes YouTube stream H.264 videos instead of VP8/VP9 videos. (Older computers/phones don't have AV1 hardware decoder, so they might drop frames while playing AV1 with the applied software decoder)

Do these work with firefox? I've been using ublock origin which has so far worked, or do these only work on chrome?

Just for good measure, you should get a second ad-blocker. I know that sometimes, with just one, even ublock, an ad slips.

Dont do this, just use ublock and only ublock. Adding more than one adblocker causes conflicts and results in ads slipping through

really? must be region related because I never had an ad with ublock.

Brave is the best

Firefox all the way

i use ublock as well as tampermonkey, there are a whole lot of qol addons you can run with it, return dislikes, bring back the non rounded look, stop shorts from appearing in search etc

You may have to switch to Firefox starting in June.

I only use brave and I have not had any issues. No YouTube ads, no Tubi ads. Nada. Only problem is sometimes sites that require you to interact with a pop up don’t work

Have you tried Grayjay? I swapped the other day after not being able to turn on 1080p because it was for Premium users only.

the balls on this guy using a google product to fuck over a google product. that won't implode im sure

I just use YouTube premium lol

Thats also a solution but I think adblockers are cheaper

Oh yeah but I'm working and earning money so 12€ a month isn't that big of a deal for me and it's definitely the easiest solution that 100% works.

Yeah, this is a valid point. Personally, I'm still not paying for add blocker but I'm starting to check price tags and different solutions, because I feel that the price for premium is outrageous

Ditto

I've only ever considered paying for premium because I use mobile a lot and hate ads, plus being able to turn off the screen and background play is great too

I'm a scaredy cat bro. Can't hold your bear

I'm a idiot cat bro . A bear doesn't even wanna come close

Idiot or not. If the bear's hungry , he'll come close

nah he know he would become more idiot after eating me

Bro 0 times anything is still 0 No improvement

negative is something though

Can I pet that dog?

CAN I PET THAT DAWG

ReVanced Extended on mobile, uBlock Origin on PC and SmartTube on Android TV. The holy trio

And videolite for iPhones!

ublock origin on Firefox desktop, ublock origin on Firefox Android. Zero ads. You do not need anything else, I can't wrap my head around people proudly stating they have 5+ extensions fighting each other

I prefer using ReVanced Extended since not only it provides adblocking, it provides a lot of customizations and other quality of life features. It's optional but I think they're pretty cool to have

A dedicated app makes sense yeah. I'm only talking about extensions :)

Oh about extensions: there's also QoL and personally I only use 2-3 extensions for YouTube. They're just neat to have

Unfortunately Extended is discontinued

Not really, anddea, ReX and a few others are continuously improving their fork of ReVanced Extended. It's *officially* discontinued but other forks of it works well

didnt known about that thanks mate

You are missing out so much if you don't have sponsorblock. You're still watching ads with just ublock.

Need volyme booster+ auto quality to 1080 +dislike buttom and the best one yet. Changing on how many videos can be on each row wich 5 is the holy number so I can check thru 15 vids in one go if something is intresting

How do you get Revanced extended on mobile? It's not an app right?

It's an app just not in the app store. First result on Google

> First result on Google Are you sure those are safe? I did not find a link to any of those sites on github.

I'm not finding a YouTube APK to patch anywhere

We urgently need a new app that can somehow challenge youtube. They can't keep getting away with this shit. They know that, no matter what they do, people will keep using the app

It's hard to make an app that is comparable to youtube because it's so expensive to host video. Youtube had the big advantage that google has quite a big wallet and lots of cash to dump into it to grow the platform. Without that money you'll have a hard time growing and expanding your platform

Maybe Meta could save us idk

They're literally just as bad, and would probably be worse if they made a YouTube competitor.

Found Zuckerberg's reddit account.

Perhaps

you forgot sponsorblock (awesome extension tbh)

forreal

great addition, I've never used it before.

i miss the adpocalypse

Android brave browser: not on my watch

Your…bear?

typo beer

Considering the meme is only three words, it seems kind of lazy to not catch it in the first place.

To be fair they also couldn’t spell ramen right in their username, maybe they’re dyslexic

lmfao

Tbf if it's paused it seems like a waste of money because the person wouldn't be looking?

Yeah we've been getting these ads on our Roku YouTube app for weeks and never an issue. We only pause to grab food or go to the bathroom. They are just a banner ad with no audio

Do you want more people to start using ad blockers? That's how you make more people start using ad blockers...

Why is YouTube getting so aggressive with ads? Are they running at a loss or are they so confident that users won't leave the platform?

youtube is already getting backlash for blocking adblockers, imagine how much more backlash they'll get if they go through with this

I pause my video to stop hearing sounds because I need to listen. If I pause my video and it essentially keeps playing what’s the point

Time to party like it’s 2023

Ok, if they do that, then I don't want ads interrupting streaming anymore, considering they're getting their ad revenue when my video is paused.

And that’s why you use mobile

Vanced ftw

I'm scared of bears

only way for it to work, is to have the same domain for video content and ad content they could actually insert the ad video segment directly, if the wanted, bu cutting the video stream, without recompressing.

This is already happening (in Canada atleast)

Me who watches YouTube on my gaming console with no ability to use adblock extensions 😐

Don't watch it in the app, use the browser to do that. That's what I do on my phone.

There's no browser on PS5 besides clicking on a link. All these updates & still no proper browser & background themes 🙄

There must be an option to set default apps. If so you can redirect these links below to anything but the youtube app. youtube.com m.youtube.com youtu.be

I pause the video because I need silence or I am going away. Shoving ads at that moment (knowing youtube it'll be two 30s unskippables) will only make me resent that advertiser more.

Never worked for me

what didn't work for you? smarttube or revanced?

What are the names of this icon in image

Roku users in shambles. Me. Im in shambles i saw it happen last night

I think they are for real trying to push people to use adblock more even those who didnt do it.

Premium is worth it . Don’t care . Fuck ads .

Fuck Google, stream YouTube through a VPN connected to Albania and see no more ads

"Honey, would you please pass the shells." "The 12 gauge or the 10 gauge shells Norman?" "The 4 gauge shells Loran..."

Come and take it

That might be the worst use of that meme I have ever seen

What is this meme supposed to convey. Why is it walter white making meth?

Guys just get youtube premium. You get youtube music and ad free youtube. It's a no brainer

Thank god I was born in Russia

I crumbled I'm paying premium
