Spread the word to install firefox based browser, use different frontends to block youtube ads in browser, Invidious and use piped youtube apps on android to block youtbe ads: Newpipe

[–] laverabe@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago (3 children)

is there a way to simply install a addon in firefox to redirect all youtube links to piped links?

Anything that can be done to destroy youtubes monopoly is a good thing.

Not going to happen with self hosted stuff. People really have no idea how much storage or bandwidth YouTube uses.

Personally I just use Redirector because all the add-ons specific for invidious are either broken or set to instances that are dead!

piped for desktop and libretube for mobile also a great option
