Youtube has better anti-adblock now. Other than Invidious, any way around it? Purging and re-dowloading the ublock stuff didn't work (lemmy.ml)

Android: https://newpipe.net/

For PC: https://freetubeapp.io/

Or you can try switching your VPN to a European location while using Ublock. I think YouTube's anti-adblocking violates EU privacy laws

Edit: fixed formatting 🫠

Newpipe has been working very well for me... for now.

Been using it for years without issue. Get the version with Sponsorblock, it's worth it

I strongly suggest to try Libretube, it's better IMO.

I did for.the last year and a half. It has yet to block a single sponsor while the Firefox sponsorblock works fine lol.

It also, for the past few weeks, now has a "report problem" banner at the start of every video. Might look at an alternative.

For desktop, Firefox + ublock origin has yet to have me see a single ad.

Strange...I haven't had that happen to me at all. I wish I was smart enough to figure it out for ya, but all I can say is that it works for me

Came here to post this, I started using FreeTube before even the Anti-Adblock shit started because I couldn't stand the algorithms and reccomendations anymore, as well as pushing features IDGAF about like Shorts. Made my browsing experience much more easier.

I have also heard of https://revanced.app/ for mobile, but never tried it.

This is the correct link: https://revanced.app/ or even Github directly: https://github.com/revanced

I think revanced . net should not be trusted

I have edited my post to address that, thank you
