Firefox says it will keep supporting uBlock Origin even as Microsoft Edge and other Chromium browsers phase it out under Manifest V3.

Dude, the last thing I use Google for is YouTube and the ads are so much now on my tv and when listening to stories in my car that I’m seriously considering either paying for nebula or just snorting whatever I find under the sink for amusement.

uBlock origin works on YouTube and works in Firefox for Android

Yes but I can’t install that on an appleTV or mess with it while driving so there are times I still encounter the bad.

You already made the choice to use appletv

I love nebula. Well worth it. Less content, but all but two of my preferred creators are on it (not including Dropout, which is also worth it). For those two, I use Freetube every month or so to check in, but they're just Tiny little science channels that do simple experiments, and I can find the experiments they cite on their university webpages once I have the names of their demos.

i forget what its called.. pihole? You can set up a small box on your network that can filter out ads on devices that you cant install adblocking on, like on your TV and stuff.

[–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pihike adblocker doesn’t work for streams, just static content.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago

Well color me informed.

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

does not work for youtube. for that, you need either a third party youtube app with builtbin blocking, or a patched official app that adds the blocking.

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Or just open the Firefox website in the browser

[–] WhyJiffie@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I guess you meant the youtube website, but on a TV you won't be able to block youtube ads in the browser either

[–] iopq@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

I don't use the smart TV functions, I connect a device to the TV to watch stuff on the TV. I certainly don't use any apps to watch YouTube
