    I only use Firefox for youtube and nothing else… it still just works the same as ever - the only ads I see are the ones the creators make themselves for sponsors. I only use Chromium-based browsers for anything that has nothing to do with google…

    I don’t get it, I use a variety of browsers and apps, with or without VPN. I even scrape channel RSS from the same IP and have never seen this.

      You didn’t state if you use an adblock extension, which is what this is all about.

        Using some sort of ad-blocking is default. I haven’t seen more than the occasional ad before the filters update for more than a decade and a half.

    And I’ve been using only newpipe and freetube since this all started. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

    I’m self hosting an invidious instance and not once have I noticed any interruptions. 10/10 just use a public invidious instance and be done with it

    Definitely not blocking here… but… I have to ask. Which takes precedence, YouTube’s T&C’s or EU law?
