      GAMIR3DH, 01 Nov 2023Oh so thats why it re-directs me to the Galaxy Store...Oh, don't install the version from Galaxy or Play store. That doesn't have the full capabilities of the real app.
      Visit adguard.com to get the full app.

        There is not just two options.
        Just keep using uBlock as usual.

          Just use ublock or copy and paste a tamper monkey script 💀

Even if 10 tb of cloud data storage costs a huge amount for yt, but yt makes at least a dozen times of that amount from selling user data of those content creators who uploaded those 10tb data. So you're opinion stands pretty pointless at the moment. Sorry to hurt you my friend, but it is the truth. Cheers!

                  When do I, as a viewer, get paid after watching the advertisements? Watching unwanted advertisements takes up a lot of my time, pay for it, don't just get paid for the content creators.

                      Just use Invidious and bypass all. Youtube does not make you use adblocker if you are not logged in as well.

                          After I started seeing this popup to disable ad blocker my time on youtube has been decreased dramatically

                              just use an undetected script for adblockers on your browser and thats all

                                  I strongly recommend "AdGuard" as an adblocker. It is the best I have ever used. Blocks literally everything you want to block. It is so good that Apple banned it from Play Store many years ago :-). It has also a lot of customization options for those who are more familiar with the matter.

                                    I'm getting this rubbish and I don't even have an adblocker installed, let alone running.

                                      When Google can indemnify me from all viruses and vulnerabilities in ads, they can force me to have ads come to my devices. Until then Eff Off.

                                        In TOR you cant use extensions because you dont need them. They are already packed in and are much better and much higher levels. TOR is litterary bulletproof to advertising, to pop ups, to anything else than can distract you.
