This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Oh man, does that mean my sub to yt-dlp is going to go up as well?
I'm concerned to. Hopefully we can weather the upcoming storm.
If you're just trying to get around ads, use Brave Browser. Its native adblock is the best.
Thought Brave was itself, malware...

Quoting this chud's X account? A new publication to avoid.
If you didn't already know Dexerto was trash at a level just barely short of tabloids then I welcome you 🔥
People pay for that?
I pay for the “lite” version but only because I want to watch it on my Apple TV without ads and I wasn’t able to get any other apps or workarounds up for that.
I was surprised to read that there is a "lite" plan again after I was kicked off when it shut down like ten years ago.
Edit: Oh, it's not available in Sweden. Well I'll stick with my browser addons for an ad free experience then.
Speaking as someone who has used Apple devices for literal decades, go to Best Buy and purchase an NVIDIA Shield Pro.
Replace the stock launcher with FLauncher, replace YouTube with SmartTube Next, and Twitch with S0undTV.
Congrats. Nearly the same performance and feature set and no ads.
The only shortcomings are with VP9-based HDR video…
Which means ONLY YouTube HDR content won’t play. Plex, Netflix, Amazon, Disney+, Hulu, etc. all play can HDR or DolbyVision from their native video codec (h.265 / HEVC) with zero issues…
Actually, I love my Apple TV. It’s better than all other streaming devices I’ve tried so far. The only issue I have is with YouTube ads. Everything else is fantastic.
Also, I don’t use any Google products, except for YT. Aside from that I’m completely degoogled.
I’ve heard great things about the Shield and I appreciate the feedback on it! I hope someone else sees your advice and finds It useful! Thank you!
Apple definitely now has the top tier hardware for sure… but I just cannot stand the pervasiveness of all the increasing ads everywhere, and the Shield can basically be de-Googled.
If you ever decide the ads are too much but still want the relatively high performance, I can’t recommend the Shield enough.
Good to hear everything else is good though.
Laughs in PipePipe and SmartTube.
Laughs in, well simply not playing the game. No YouTube anymore. That was easy.
Got any recommendations for Peertubers to follow?
