For everyone without a AdGuard subscription who wants to watch YouTube without ads and without integrated sponsor bullshit on the TV I'd recommend SmartTube. Don't forget to remap your YouTube button on the chromecast remote to SmartTube.
I'm paying YouTube Premium but still use SmartTube on the TV because of its integrated Sponsorblock.
Seconding SmartTube, it's also just straight up better than the YouTube app on top of the adblocking
Yep, as much as I love adguard (and I'm SO happy I bought a lifetime android subscription ten years ago when it was just a few dollars), smaettube is probably enough for most
SmartTube is amazing.
How does one remap buttons on the remote?
I imagine it depends on the TV model/brand. You should google your make and model.
Lol, 'Google' the make, as if the person clearly isn't trying to degoogle.
I used this app for my Sony Bravia: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton
If you're using google chromecast (not sure if applicable to other remotes), try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=flar2.homebutton&hl=en_US&gl=US
Thank you. I've been close to super gluing the fucking netflix button in place.
