I usually watch YouTube on a laptop hooked up to my tv, so I downloaded freetube and just imported my subscriptions. It's got sponsorblock and other features built in, but you can't like or comment on videos. Overall though I've been using it for about 6 months now and wouldn't dream of going back to YouTube and trying to constantly deal with them fucking it up more daily.

I use Piped + LibreTube, and I self-host Piped to get better and more consistent load times. Works very well, only minor issues every now and then.

AdGuard is still working for me on all platforms. (Mac OS Safari, iOS Safari)

Are you using chrome or Firefox?

I have to log out, clear cookies, update/clear block lists, then log back in.

Did you delete Google and Youtube cookies when you reloaded the UBlock stuff? That's a necessary step.

Like the majority I am using Ublock and Firefox, but I've noticed over the last month it is very slow to catch up to YouTube ads and I'm seeing them make it through a lot more often.

Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed

Yeah also on firefox

Pihole does nothing in this case

Hmm. I had it pop up for the first time in ages today, but updating filters and clearing cookies did the trick.

There are other plugins that get flagged like some if the YT Premium features (cant remember the exact name)

Ublock/adnauseum work fine after uninstalling that stuff

YouTube Unhook has started failing to auto-click the Skip Ad button as of today, I noticed.

Piped has been working great for me

revanced hasn't had any issues or required any workarounds

Is this an American thing? Haven't had any issues with this in the EU
