A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I use NewPipe. Never seen a single add in 5+ years.

Then again I don't use a google account on YouTube.

Yes NewPipe is great, just watch what you want, no ads, just the channels you're subscribed to !! But I wonder how this YouTube blocking experiment is going to affect NewPipe as it's not using a YouTube account for watching.....
