NewPipe is great on my phone, SmartTube for my TV. I tried showing others but it's like they don't think that there is a problem. I use Arch btw.

FreeTube is pretty good as well. Using it on Debian (or Mint).

+1 to FreeTube. It just sucks that all these players typically use the same YouTube.js lib. So when google fucks with that lib (because they definitely cat-and-mouse that shit), it breaks so many.

That's my fear as well. Google breaks literally everything they touch.

100%.

SponsorBlock on SmartTube is incredible. Saved so much time

YouTube.com through firefox with uBo for me. SmartTube is super easy to set up and if anyone is on the fence, do it now.

Does anyone know something not terribly complicated for blocking YouTube ads on Xbox one? We don't have a smart tv and the ads are infuriating when I remember they exist

i just use the YouTube site on firefox with adblock and sponsorblock. slightly janky but works
