If you're not using Firefox or a fork of FF with uBlock Origin and still complaining about ads: What's wrong with you?
PSA (I honestly don't know anyone else who does this) the Android version of Firefox supports the uBlock origin extension (among other things) and plays YouTube videos perfectly fine.
I haven't had to watch a single ad on YouTube on my phone for years and well over a decade on any PC or Mac.
There's also LibreTube and Grayjay, which don't show ads at all anyway, and also come with a skip button that turns on for in-video sponsor ads / asking you to like and subscribe.
+1 for Grayjay, not the most user friendly out there, but once you get it setup it's really good!
How do you stop the YouTube app from trying to force open?
Do you have the ability to Force Stop and Disable it in your app settings?
You should be to copy paste any youtube link into your Firefox browser.
Get an OS that doesn't fill your phone with unremovable bloat ware. You can also turn off opening links in apps in the Firefox settings, or install NewPipe and make that the default app for YouTube links.
"but Google is where the internet is? Don't delete my internet!"
It's 3 ads now
You guys see ads?
You guys still watching youtube?
I haven't seen an ad at any video content (or most other content tbf) for ages. My Plex share doesn't have any, and my browsers are cleansed by digital fire of this filth. I can't deal with the permanent sensory overload it causes.
Just be grateful that you don't have to pay for the privilege of watching ads... yet.
Cable TV, I'm looking at you!
Cable TV and some streaming services, I hear.
Most streaming services by now.
You kinda have to be a psychopath to take a Laptop to the kitchen, unless you place it super far away from everything and always wash your hands before typing that keyboard will get super nasty. The kitchen is Tablet territory because you can just wipe it clean after.
I hate tablets with a burning passion. So no. It's laptop time, all the time
I don't own a tablet and don't see a reason to buy one for this non-issue.
Obviously you place it where it doesn't get dirty, and you start a video that is long enough before starting to cook, so you don't have to touch it until you're done.
My kitchen and living room and bedroom are all the same room
I think they mean like laptop on the table and you’ve cooked and you’re sitting down to eat.
And you kinda have to be autistic to care this much about where someone uses their laptop.
Where the hell do you think we are, lol

Idk... probably something on stremio. It's funny they think I'm watching shittube on a regular basis.
