YouTube once again ahead of uBO on Firefox; fiddling with the extension settings not working this time and DDG search is useless ... anyone got ideas?

Pretty much the subject line. uBO has successfully blocked the nag screen enough times that I can’t play anything at this point. No preview loads, and the play button serves no function. I’d really prefer not to have to find content on YT, copy the URL and use Piped/Invidious, but this ongoing escalation is steeling my resolve to screw Google.

Revanced hasn’t had any issues throughout this. I only watch YouTube on Android anyway.

(doesn’t help for desktop use, but it’s an option and maintains all of YouTubes native functionality + premium features)

mateomaui,

desktop use

May be time to explore Android emulators. I know some linux distros incorporate them, and there are some options for Win and Mac.

GreatBlue,

Or look into FreeTube, it works really well on desktop

mateomaui,

True, it’s good to keep track of all options because any of them could stop working one day.

I should install this to my homelab tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.
