YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.
It wraps up youtube content such that you see 0 ads, have 0 tracking, and a much better overall experience. As well it lets you connect to other content like stuff hosted on peertube.
I hadn’t realised it had been compiled for desktop. I’ve mainly been using it(well rather the fork with SponsorBlock) for a while now on Android since I can’t just simply adblock the main app on an unrooted phone.
Thanks for the recommendation.
I’m using Linux right now, and glad to see they have it on Flathub. I think I’ll give that a try now!
You might consider looking at invidious.

Thank you!
It looks like FreeTube actually has the option to route through invidious for all of those benefits. That’s really cool!
