If you're tired of seeing shit like this on youtube or any other site?https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/723295332296818759/777216907220615188/unknown.png
Then I have the solution for you.
First, if you haven't already, download uBlock Origins.
Once you have it downloaded, go to the tab where the bullshit is located and then click on this little shield. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/545780486014763020/777219924753645579/unknown.png.
In the menu that pops open, click on the eyedropper icon, which is the element picker. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/723295332296818759/777217174103130172/unknown.png
Then select the bullshit, but make sure it's selecting the entire section of bullshit like so then hit left click. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/723295332296818759/777217327208595466/unknown.png
This little box should pop open and all you have to do is click on create and BAM, bullshit is gone. https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/723295332296818759/777217479872872498/unknown.png

im using this on brave
No youtube commercials too.
I got it (brave) sideloaded on my TV last night (android tv) and started using it instead of the YouTube app.
No more ad revenue for youtube from my viewing.
What's wrong with using Youtube Vanced? It's a better alternative than using the web browser.
Been using YouTube Vanced for years. Forgot that ads were even a thing. Best damn app for YouTube out there. Has play in background, as well.
Didn't know about it. Will give it a try. Thanks.
Just downloaded Vanced and it's awesome. 🇺🇲👍 I want my MTV.😎
Vanced is excellent. For the video AND youtube music app. Umatrix has been amazing plugin for years for browsers. It's in the midst of being forked, but still works. Blocks domains at the source.
Got it on my TV now. Thanks
how get rid of youtube goolag ad shit on PC?
any way on ipad?
use the brave browser
Ublock Origin is available for every major browser...
on my PC i use firefox with ad blocker extension, works great, fuck youtube
I posted this above, but this is the only way I know of that really works well:
It works a little too well; it started causing problems with legit sites, so until I figure out how to better fine-tune it, I had to disable it.....but while I had it running, it was pretty sweet. Even killed those stupid forced ads (or now TWO sometimes!) at the start of all YouTube videos.
Pretty slick.... definitely takes some tweaking though.
They have a companion mobile app that is very well done.
AND IT'S ALL FREE!!!!
Side loaded? Can you link to instructions? Thanks
I got started using this article. I also needed a android phone https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/09/05/how-to-sideload-any-application-on-android-tv/
The TV was not locked down. Just a matter of getting the apk (installer "exe") onto it.
If you want to use a apk already installed on your phone you might need a file manager to get to them. I used one called 'file manager' had a screen button to show you the apks installed on your phone. From there it had a backup option that put a copy in a folder in the root of the SD card. Then I moved a copy to the TV per the article.
I could not add this app to the TV front page. There are a bunch of apps in the TV appstore to see apps like this. I just used one of these.
Now I got to get me an android TV!!!
I was thinking of doing ms word and an email app. If it works; free computer with a TV.
I already have a wireless keyboard with a touchpad.
One more, an app named NetGuard (orange shield logo) will occupy the single VPN point for current gen and, if desired, force every other app on the device to ask its (your) Permission before being able to access the interwebs. Ostensibly even OEM spybaked programs.
Anyway, an extra point - they can't be on the app stores in this configuration .. but an off-store version/upgrade can run epic blacklist blackholing, as well. Setup is medium knowledge. Smooth app.
it works FANTASTIC together with Brave. I LOVE it.
recommended by CNET, TheVerge, WIRED.... not sure about that
Thank you, OP! I just followed your instructions, and the Pravda propaganda is gone! BAM!
You can use the element selector/blocker using just brave itself
It's like 2000 all over again... The Golden age of the Internet.
The more pop ups on a news site, the more broke they are
This. Top kek combo
F-Droid + NewPipe
https://vancedapp.com/ Install their app. Gives access to download the necessary files. Fantastic. Using it for years. Disable your stock YouTube app and never look back.
This. Vanced is great plus it also has background playback.
My preferred browser
I liked using Brave, but I rely on the bookmark sync too much between devices and it was horrible :(
If they fix it I will go back for sure.
This is the only thing keeping me from switching to it. I feel like such a cuck.
If youre using Chrome, you kinda are a cuck. Google is fucking you at least.
any browser will memorize your most visited links, and if you are going to the same sites over and over you should know the url
I'm aware, I just have a hundred or so bookmarks and it would be nice to at least be able to import them. I don't even see that option on Brave.
I care more about the password sync, and still haven't found anything that works as seamlessly as safari/keychain on my macs. I wish I had the same level of perfect instant sync on the non macs in my life. (more than a few)
BitWarden changed my internet life. You can also generate random, EXTREMELY secure passwords, for your most sensitive logins (banks, brokerages, ect.). It also syncs across multiple devices. I highly recommend it.
Thanks Pede! I'll look into it! :-)
BitWarden.
There is a standalone app, and browser extensions.
Many thanks Pede! there is a lot of junk out there... its hard to know which one to trust.
I was using Brave, but ran into too many rough edges. Now I’m using Firefox on all my devices.
Before using Firefox, consider reading this: https://blog.mozilla.org/careers/words-matter-moving-beyond-meritocracy/
Those people don't believe in meritocracy, which is the heart & soul of open source methodology. They think it's racist or something.
I would recommend Brave or ungoogled-chromium.
Yeah, they have been trying to infiltrate open source for sure, but I feel like projects which don't have a "Diversity & Inclusion" team and have a significant bar to entry aren't affected. I think this is because woke/socialists/communists tend not to be smart enough to contribute to those projects in the first place. I think they'll give up trying to infiltrate and move on to the next industry they want to destroy eventually.
The smartest open source developers I know are the opposite of woke. So I think they'll win out in the end.
Firefox's problems go beyond that ideology. Their CEO has negative value to the company. They recently laid off some of the most useful parts of their team, every release removes another feature that people use, they have recently been fucking with about:config to make it less useful (as though they don't actually want power users at all), their Quantum error screens are positively infantile as though they have nothing but contempt for their users, they refuse to commit to not restricting the API that uBlock depends on (and as we saw with EME, that refusal likely means that they intend to)... They just keep trying to make it look and act more and more like Chrome instead of building on what used to make it good. And there was the extension apocalypse a couple of years ago now. Firefox is now actually irrelevant enough that Google can force certain upcoming changes in Chrome that it wouldn't have had the power to do if Firefox was a viable competitor.
Firefox sucks. We need a viable alternative to Chrome but Firefox is no longer it. Brave is.
Thanks! I’ll give it another shot.
Welp, just installed Firefox after reading that part of this nonsense article alone. So doing a better job than others is racist and biased now, huh? What a time to be alive.
Brave's edges are the same as Chrome...
EESH... When is the last time you looked at Brave? just curious... since I have been able to get it working flawlessly across all of my devices... the only issue I have ATM is that Sync doesn't work to IOS devices... yet...
Last month. I was having issues with video play and it also didn’t work with Adobe Analytics- probably due to the privacy features. I may just need to use two browsers.
Thats what I've been doing. too. 2 browsers... :-)
So you are literally having George Soros filter your web search results and send data about you back to Enemy HQ and you think this is something to be proud of? Telling people to use FF or GC with an ad block is either really bad advice or it is some Lefty operation trying to trick you. Just use Brave and forget about Ads and the Enemy.
No you're not. It's open source. As I mentioned up-thread, use ffprofile to disable the telemetry as it's controllable via prefs.js.
Brave is a downstream consumer of Chromium anyway which effectively does something similar.
George Soros and one of the faggots from Ebat OWN the "Fact Checking" outfit that literally controls what results pop up on a Firefox browser. He literally controls what you see when you search for something on Firefox. Fact.
You keep saying this like it makes a difference. Firefox sends telemetry to Mozilla, open source or not. Chromium is open source too, and still sends telemetry back to Google. Only Ungoogled Chromium doesn't.
I'll give Brave another go.
I'm using https://swisscows.com/ as my search engine of choice these days and I disable Pocket, which serves bullshit web stories sponsored by Soros, along with RTCPeerConnection and telemetry.
If Firefox wasn't open source, you'd have more of a point.
