I literally haven't seen anyone even mention it anywhere on the internet as if it never existed, when it comes to Ad blockers I always see uBO recommended with absolutely no mention whatsoever of ABP why? What makes it better than ABP? What happened to it? or maybe I'm wrong and ABP is not as well known as I think it is.
I have been using ABP for many years until someday don't remember when I switched to uBO because I read that it is "the best ad blocker".
I maybe need a history lesson as everything on the matter seems so vague to me and the whole situation is super weird
Ublock doesn't freeze my YT videos when it rolls over a midroll ad. I'll never use anything else (maybe a Pi-Hole)
A pi hole is great, but I don't believe it's effective against YouTube ads because of the way they're delivered
You are correct.
Yeah. I believe YouTube ads are basically just YouTube videos so it's difficult to filter out.
SmartTubeNext or Newpipe and other apps can effectively filter YT ads.
NewPipe is amazing. I've made NewPipe+Sponsorblock my default YouTube app on my phone, and I use the Libredirect addon on PC to redirect all links to Piped instances.
ublock origin + sponsorblock
