Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

    When will people learn? YouTube is hot garbage and its time to move on.

    I know. I know. You people love your trash.

        Like actually different platforms? None really, since Google willfully ran YouTube on a loss to strangle potential competition and claim the natural monopoly for themselves.

        There are privacy-respecting front-ends for YouTube tho, like piped or Invidious.

        I use YouTube once every… month? Two months? This speaking as someone who would use it daily. I assume it depends on your use. For me it was music. Now I just use a music service.

          I don’t watch TV, so I actually use YouTube for a lot of entertainment and education. Veritasium, CGP Grey, Ramblomatic, How to cook that, Kurzgesagt, Numberphile, Agadmator… And more.
