I have a YouTube premium subscription for one reason: I travel a lot and you can't put an adblocker on an old hotel TV that only has the YouTube app
Once I get to travel less, I'll go back to only using ublock origin and sponsorship block.
You can try buying an android tv box or hooking up your laptop+wireless keyboard to a hotel TV and install adblock that way.
True, but flying with that much equipment sucks. Going through the TSA line, getting hit for inspection, just adds more pain.
I barely like traveling with my laptop if I can help it. All I travel with is my backpack, so space is at a premium
Plus, after flying 6 hours, all I want to do is either screen share or log in and not have to worry about setting stuff up.
I thought ublock or ad blockers in general didnt work on youtube videos. Do you have any info on how to get that to work?
Ublock has worked on youtube videos forever, on mobile i use NewPipe or you can use firefox mobile with the ublock addon
Or YouTube ReVanced on Android. I also homebrewed my smart tv to get a YouTube version with AdBlock (LG tv with WebOS)
