Not mentioned yet: Paying for YouTube Premium if you and your other family members watch a lot of YT. This is only needed for Smart TVs. It's $23 per month for up to a family of five. You also get YouTube Music as well.
Otherwise, I use Firefox + uBlock Origin + Privacy Badger and also have redundant PiHole servers.
- qwerpy 2y agoI hooked up an old PC to my TV and then taught my extremely tech illiterate wife to use VNC on her phone to control the PC. Now her YouTube and Chinese streaming sites are ad-free. My kids will have to wait until they can operate a web browser on a computer before I’ll let them on YouTube. Until then I let them use Netflix or VLC on an iPad with local content I downloaded (yt-dlp, etc).
- pixxel 2y agoIt’s not mentioned because we’re on HACKER NEWS discussing adblocking, FFS.
- uncharted9 2y agoIf you're going to pay for YouTube, then at least VPN to a 3rd world country for cheaper YT Premium subscription.
