Removing whatever Ublock Origin needed to exist in Safari is one of the dumbest moves Apple has made.
To get most of the battery advantages of Macs you're forced to use Safari. But when it comes down to having to see YouTube ads I'm willing to make the tradeoff and switch to Chrome.
- babypuncher 5y agoFrankly I just hate the idea of YouTube creators getting paid for their work. /s
- VRay 5y agoI'd pay half a cent per video or whatever it works out to be, but I'm not going to pay by letting Google or any other corporations track my every move and action
- babypuncher 5y agoI don't think blocking ads on YouTube prevents Google from being able to track you on YouTube
- manigandham 5y agoThere is Youtube Premium which is a flat fee: https://www.youtube.com/premium https://www.youtube.com/premium
- benhurmarcel 5y agoIt's a shame that they bundle it with a music subscription.
- wooger 5y agoA laughably high flat fee. In the UK, 11.99 GBP per month. For no new video content I want, no new features (they still block picture in picture on iOS app & web). They bundle the crappy youtube music service which I also don't want. It's a non-starter & overpriced by a factor of 5x.
- manigandham 5y agoIt's not high at all, people just vastly undervalue content while spending much more on coffee and drinks without thinking. There are Youtube originals but you're mainly paying for the delivery of content. Premium comes with a few extra features on mobile too. Also you can use picture-in-picture on iphones/ipad by using the website. Play a video in fullscreen, tap to view the controls, then tap the PIP icon.
- perryizgr8 5y agoWhich does not cut out all the ads on the most popular channels.
- VRay 5y agoyeah, I pay for it for my nephews, since there's no stopping them from using YouTube..
- spartanatreyu 5y agoYoutube shows ads on videos for a section of creators without paying them and also puts ads on creator's videos that do not want ads on them.
- contriban 5y agoThat’s pretty strange for a video platform that is completely free to both users and creators. I wonder why they need to put ads on it.
- AwkwardPanda 5y agoYes, recently they have also sent an email regarding this change and other changes in their policy. Even after all these measures, are they even making any profit yet?
- MomoXenosaga 5y agoYou have never switched channels during a commercial break?
- babypuncher 5y agoNo, but it's been about 10 years since I've watched linear TV. That doesn't seem like any better of a user experience though. Sure, you don't see ads, but your show is still interrupted and now you end up missing bits and pieces of whatever you are watching. I don't really see any more value in watching 4 minutes of the middle of a random show than I already see in 4 minutes of ads. Either way it's pretty rare for me to see ads these days, because I only use services that offer a paid ad-free option.
- rexf 5y agoFirefox + Ublock Origin works fine on macs
- kibwen 5y agoNot sure why this is downvoted, it works great for me.
- freediver 5y agoThis is one of the main reasons we started working on Orion three years ago. WebKit + uBlock Origin = bliss https://browser.kagi.com https://browser.kagi.com
