A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Install another browser like Librewolf (ublock included) or Brave. That's it, say good-bye to the ads, and not only in Youtube. In Android use Youtube Revanced. In Android TV (Nvidia shield, google TV, etc) use SmartTube.
And don't use the "ads-company" browser in the future if you don't like ads.
Uuhhh, yeah, no. Don't do this. Librewolf – or really any Firefox browser, even with how Mozilla is right now – is going to be a lot better choice than the homophobia-and-crypto Chromium browser.
Android using waterfox with ublock, no ads on youtube or anywhere else
Unfortunately Firefox is also an ads company now, but still gecko-based browsers are the only good choice rn
I don't like the direction they're heading, but Firefox still works just fine with UBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, etc.
Yup! Just not immune to enshittifying
firefox got drunk on the google revenue stream and decided not to innovate away from google.
