I’m surprised more people aren’t using uBlock Origin. It’s an absolute necessity for browsing the web anymore.

When I can set that up for my AppleTV to block ads on YouTube, I’ll be happy to use it.

It’s available for mobile as well. You find it in the extension manager

For which mobile and what extensions manager?

I’m blocking ads phone-wide, I just don’t use uBlock Origin for that on the phone.

I honestly think it’ seven more important to have an adblock on a phone.

The amount of pages that on mobile are an advert covering the top half, and a give us your data prompt at the bottom seems to be nearly everything these days. At least on a monitor there’s room for the content.

I didn’t say I don’t block ads on the phone. Read my other comments here.

Firefox on android supports addons, so you can install uBlock on it too. If you use an apple device, you are limited to DNS based ad blocking, which doesn’t help with youtube.

I really like YouTube Revanced on Android, it’s a patcher that includes an ad blocker as well as a ton of other QOL fixes.

But I understand why more people don’t fuck with it, because if you install it wrong, your app will bug in the weirdest ways. Like my YouTube app kept getting renamed with the content of my last error message.

I use Revance Manager for patching other apps but youtube app is shit no matter how much you patch it. Prefer NewPipe or even LibreTube over patched Youtube app.

Same, but when I sit and do stuff in my laptop I end up procrastinating even more with it than my phone… Anyway, I block ads everywhere I can, and when I cannot, usually I have a pihole running in the background for that in my local network.
