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.

Alternate headline: Users test using only YouTube ReVanced to bypass this new system
YouTube Revanced is a savior
Hey, where do I find this? UBlock blocks the top links on DDG as "Badware risk"
Here's what I use: https://github.com/inotia00/rvx-builder/wiki/How-to-use-rvx-builder-on-Android
Unfortunetly google is stupid and shows fake websites as the top result, with the official one beeing way down the search results.
The official website is revanced.app or the github.
Also note that the revanced team dosen't distribite pre-patched APKs for copyright reasons. Instead you have to patch a stock APK yourself.
Ah, okay. Thanks. I can definitely patch an APK if I can get the stock APK. I've been using Newpipe for ages, but it would be nice to have access to my YouTube accounts while also not having ads.
Never heard of this, does it work on desktop? NewPipe is my go to on my phone, but some content I need a large screen to watch
For Desktop, you can use FreeTube
Only downside
Well thank you! I'll look into it. Great timing 👍
You can also look into invidious instances, if you want to avoid downloading an app.

EDIT: Or piped, https://piped.video/
You can't use ReVanced on desktop. I was mostly being sarcastic and saying everyone would just start watching on their phones. But I do most of my YouTube viewing on mobile anyway, so if I started getting hit with this, this is literally what I would do.
