[–] McBinary@kbin.social 11 points 3 years ago (2 children) Do you have a Chromecast? Install "smarttube" instead. It strips out all ads, and even has sponsor block built in so it skips sponsor stuff in video. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Shwelly9@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago (1 child) Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this. Would always cast from my ad-blocked PC. But now I can use this - Thanks! permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] olrik@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago* (1 child) I don't know, I use uBlock Origin for Chrome (not sure if there are equivalents for other browsers) and I never see adds from my desktop, with a free account. It does not scrap out sponsor babble but it definitely blocks youtube adds. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] lastrogue@kbin.social 4 points 3 years ago* (last edited 3 years ago) (1 child) Pretty sure OP and others above are talking about from smart enabled media devices like Amazon firestick or google's equivalent chromecast, a hardware device you plugin to your tv, not the chromecast capability. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] olrik@kbin.social 1 point 3 years ago OK I must admit I'm very old in Internet time and I didn't get that they were not talking about a simple navigator on desktop. I do have a smart vaccum cleaner robot which is not a roomba, although I managed to connect it to my wifi and I can control it from an app on my smartphone. Just trying to keep up. permalink fedilink source parent [–] blaine@kbin.social 2 points 3 years ago Thanks for this comment. I just set this up on my Chromecast HD and it works incredibly well. I may just cancel YouTube premium now! permalink fedilink source parent
