Android: https://newpipe.net/

For PC: https://freetubeapp.io/

Or you can try switching your VPN to a European location while using Ublock. I think YouTube’s anti-adblocking violates EU privacy laws

Edit: fixed formatting 🫠

Came here to post this, I started using FreeTube before even the Anti-Adblock shit started because I couldn’t stand the algorithms and reccomendations anymore, as well as pushing features IDGAF about like Shorts. Made my browsing experience much more easier.

I have also heard of https://revanced.app/ for mobile, but never tried it.

This is the correct link: https://revanced.app/ or even Github directly: https://github.com/revanced

I think revanced . net should not be trusted

I haven’t had a SINGLE adblock message when I use YouTube with Adguard + Ublock origin and the FF “strict” option for privacy.

But I also don’t log into any accounts.

My wife was getting messages all the time (logged in) with the same adblockers. I installed an add-on that speeds up ads so fast that you don’t even notice them. LOL Problem solved!

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

For PC: Libredirect plugin on firefox and point it to freetube (Freetube.io)

For Android: Grayjay (https://grayjay.app/) (Sideload it, don’t install from the play store)

For IOS: Pick an invidious instance and ponder the bad choices that led to you using an apple product.

Use libretube, which is free software, unlike greyjay. It’s on F-Droid.

Grayjay is also different, as it aims to be another platform for content creator monetisation
