I don't watch YT on my TV only on my computer. If you use Firefox with the uBlock Origin extension, you can block all of those annoying embedded YT ads. I haven't seen ads on YouTube in years, and whenever I watch it without the extension, it feels strange. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 child) Yeah absolutely how I watch youtube but if there was a big screen way I would be so in.

HP sold the OS to LG who has been putting on their TVs ever since. WebOS was way ahead of it's time and actually did a lot of things that both Android and iOS later copied years later. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago I had no idea, that's a cool bit of history! permalink fedilink source parent [–] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 point 1 month ago I wish it worked on Roku.
