YouTube is WHY I have adblockers to this day. I was Ok with the ads at the beginning and end. When they started cramming 2-3 ads in the middle of a 10 minute video, that’s when I started looking for a solution.
Their greed is why they make $0 from me many years later.
I think it’s rich they aren’t happy with people using them when they’re the ones that made the standard viewing experience awful in the first place.
The only device I use for YouTube is my android phone, because it runs Firefox and ublock origin. For this exact reason.
Google's clever though, they broke full screen video in Firefox in Android 13. Now I have to restart Firefox after putting the first video in full screen, after that the videos still play.
Do you use an iOS device? I have an app that works very well and is on the app store, no side loading
Could I ask more about it? My wife is an iOS user.
