i tried piped for a while, but many times i tried to watch videos and they didn’t start loading until i reloaded it what felt like hundreds of times. any reccomendations?
edit: Dear comrades reading this, i am not sure if it will work the same for people outside of amerikkka, but puffyan.us worked really well for me. i decided not to go with yewtu.be, as i wanted to be able to find content using my subscriptions rather than searching for topics. if that doesn’t bother you, go with yewtube but puffyan worked well for me. thank you for all of the advice!
Firefox + ublock and sponsorblock still work
Yeah I haven’t had any problems, yet. Let’s hope it stays that way
Firefox + unlock origin on mobile still works…
yewtu.be because its easy to remember

different piped instance helped a lot for me tbf
thank you!
Do you have ublock origin? It’s extremely simple to get around it. Provided you have the most recent version and no custom filters, just go in to manage settings, find “quick fixes,” and update (press the little clock and the update now). Easy as. You will need to do this once a day, but it’s so easy I have no problem with that.
There are video instructions on the pinned post on the ublock origin subreddit.
oh, ok. well that’s easy
Use FreeTube: https://freetubeapp.io/

Also you can finally have subscriptions without an account. It’s great!
Also FYI, I’ve had some issues (slow loading videos etc) with the release sometimes, but the nightly build always works.
Newpipe is good
i just disable it so the video loads and then just turn it on again, and when i got to another video i dont get the youtube notice anymore and continue as usual with no ads as long i dont make another tab
fadblock on firefox works
My ublock works ok, just can’t scroll down to comments. I have this in my filters:
youtube.com##+js(set, yt.config_.openPopupConfig.supportedPopups.adBlockMessageViewModel, false) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.adBlocksFound, 0) youtube.com##+js(set, ytplayer.config.args.raw_player_response.adPlacements, []) youtube.com##+js(set, Object.prototype.hasAllowedInstreamAd, true) ! 2023-10-16 https://www.youtube.com www.youtube.com##tp-yt-paper-dialog.ytd-popup-container.style-scope www.youtube.com##.openedfwiw I haven’t gotten the anti adblock thing myself so I can’t look, but usually they’ll put just an
overflow="hidden"attribute on the body tag (you can check with inspect element), so it might be possible to just reenable scrolling by removing the attribute/changing it back tooverflow="scroll"with Stylus or sthI appreciate that but honestly no scrolling is an improvement though.
extremely fair lmfao
It’s interesting how much I catch myself trying to scroll down and then being like “why though? it’ll be crap” because of this inability.
Although I just figured out that if I fullscreen and un-fullscreen the video, scrolling works. So I basically have blocking with full functionality now.
I installed this script a few days ago in conjunction with ublock and haven’t gotten a notification since.
