My favourite unexpected bonus from switching to Linux has been a completely ad free youtube experience. Not entirely sure why this magic is happening but I love it.

On windows Firefox + ublock origin is an ad free experience for YouTube. Any chance you picked a browser that has ublock origin added hy default?

Hmmm, I could've sworn my Firefox had ublock origin on windows but I might've screwed something up etc.

I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth though!

This shouldn’t happen unless you also switched to a niche browser.

I used Firefox on windows with as much anti as stuff as I could find but they still snuck through.

I'm okay considering it a Linux miracle.

Firefox for android allows extensions 🎉

Slapped ublock immediately. Never seen ads ever since.
