I was happily using this for a year or so now. Feels fairer than using an ad blocker. But now they apparently want more money out of people. Feels like some sort of internet video apocalypse is happening, where the services become extremely fragmented and expensive, like YouTube, netflix, hbo, Hulu, Disney+ and whatnot. Each wants some 10-20€ out of your pocket.

I guess that means back to ad blockers and piracy…

      I’ve posted it repeatedly but I’d like to add the (paid extension) Vinegar extension as a recommendation for iOS Safari.
      Enable extension, add YT to home screen and stop seeing ads.
      Combined with Banish for Safari - stopping the “open in app” popups on websites, my online experience is golden.

      I’ve never, ever, had any ad run with plain old firefox and ublock.

      Also Brave Browser, I use it just for YouTube. It allows backgrounding of videos, Picture in Picture, and ad blocks.
