This was annoying me in browsers so i did a bit of reading and found out that not only can I remove their ad block blocker in browser, but my TVs also support ad free YouTube. Thanks Google! Couldn't have done it without you.

Any idea is there anything similar available on LG webOS?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe YouTube WebOS ? It has adblock and sponsorblock supports as well. It can be installed from webos homebrew channel. Check https://www.webosbrew.org/ to get started.

I guess you're thinking of SmartTube, formerly known as SmartTubeNext?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Yup. Let me correct that. Freetube is a PC app that I have installed on my Linux machine. Lol Thank you for the correction :)

I do, and I'd like a push in the right direction.
