use any instance here, or host your own

on desktop youtube.com in firefox with adblock+sponsorblock
on phone revanced

I use invidious (nadeko instance) is what works best for me, on android i usually use pipepipe that includes sponsorblock

>>108302434
Mostly I watch on my computer. uBlock Origin eliminates all ads, never had a single issue using it, nothing has ever gotten through.

I have revanced on my phone. Only time I've had any issues was when I didn't update it for a long time.

>>108302434
On PC I use FF + uBO w/ custom YT filter-lists that fixes everything (removes 90% of the site just leaves videos). Also whenever I search I just use before:# or during:# to filter things out.
Never ecountered any issues such as buffering, AI slop, or straight up breakage, I do strictly just use my Subscriptions page only with every possible piece of history turned off.
I don't really watch YT on phone but if I for some reason do I just use Brave as it seems to be the best to bypass background play.

I pay premium so I can watch with my screen off

PipePipe on Android. MPV on PC.

Will definitely be looking into this later today, thank you kind anon.
>>108302510
For mobile I think I will be trying Brave first, thank you for the recommendation.

>>108302434
Not telling, before they block method that too.

>>108302434
I really have to stop using youtube or make an extension that reconfigures its appearance or something. Its tendency to recommend things just makes me sick of the topic I'm researching. But this is partly bc I go on YouTube too much. But if I'm researching something, I don't want to see that topic spat back at me when I want entertainment. I guess I could use diff accounts or something

>>108302434
With youtube premium like a normal human being.

Firefox + uBO + 11 other extensions + 3 userscripts that make YouTube usable. And that's only counting the YouTube exclusive extensions and scripts.

>>108302434
I only use YouTube for background noise to fall asleep to. There is nothing left worth dedicating my time and attention. Stop consooming and go outside. Lift weights, eat right, be free.

You could just private browse when you don't want a particular topic to pollute your algorithm. It's what I do.

True. It has gone downhill, but I'm still addicted out of habit. Inertia is a hell of a drug.

Smartube when I'm watching on my tv using Chromecast w Google TV

Brave browser when im on my phone.

No ads ever on either

>>108302434
I rooted my tv and installed an ad-free youtube version with build in sponsor/whatever skips

on my pc just ublock

>>108302434
revanced

>>108302434
I open the website in firefox and click play

>>108302849
so you never watch youtube videos to learn? fucking liar

>>108302815
why do you use background noise to fall asleep?

I also do those things already. I need more ideas

>I spend an embarrassing amount of time watching Youtube
No shame is experiencing the world through so many different perspectives and learning anything you can dream of from people all over the planet. ;3
>but I hate Google
I don't hate them at all.
I watch Youtube in Google Chrome Beta without using an adblocker. I have a dedicated TV above my main monitor I watch them full screen on @480p on a 1920x1080@60Hz Sharp from 2010 that is 3 1/2 feet away.
I use about 8 userscripts and a couple userstyles to make it my own, but that is about as froggy as I get.
>alternatives to Youtube
I haven't found anything as good as Youtube since I have been on the world wide web, which I started using in 1995.
odyssee
rumble
dailymotion
bitchute
everything else is a cheap AIDS riddled shithole.

>>108302434
I self host an invidious instance. Usually fine but it has a tendency to fail halfway through a video so if it's something I really want to watch I'll just yt-dlp the video then play it locally with mpv. But I only really use youtube for music now a days so it's not a big deal

>>108303362
some banned vids on yt are on the other sites like bitchute, that's the point

>some banned vids
Yeah, those aren't required viewing and the majority of them are paranoid delusions that I am happy to ``miss out on''.
>that's the point
No, the point is to be entertained and that is going to be different for everyone. Youtube does that better than anyone else on the WWW.

>>108302455
fpbp mpv is the best
would be kinda cool if there was an automated way to just shit it out into the player instead of having to copy the link
I've tried a few things and they don't really work.
