Came here to post this, I started using FreeTube before even the Anti-Adblock shit started because I couldn't stand the algorithms and reccomendations anymore, as well as pushing features IDGAF about like Shorts. Made my browsing experience much more easier.

I have also heard of https://revanced.app/ for mobile, but never tried it.

This is the correct link: https://revanced.app/ or even Github directly: https://github.com/revanced

I think revanced . net should not be trusted

Ublock plus pihole are still going strong, no ads or banners yet, fingers crossed

Yeah also on firefox

Pihole does nothing in this case

If you say so, i just noted that that's my setup and that it works.

For PC: Libredirect plugin on firefox and point it to freetube (Freetube.io)

For Android: Grayjay (https://grayjay.app/) (Sideload it, don't install from the play store)

For IOS: Pick an invidious instance and ponder the bad choices that led to you using an apple product.

Use libretube, which is free software, unlike greyjay. It's on F-Droid.

Grayjay is also different, as it aims to be another platform for content creator monetisation

I haven't had a SINGLE adblock message when I use YouTube with Adguard + Ublock origin and the FF "strict" option for privacy.

But I also don't log into any accounts.

My wife was getting messages all the time (logged in) with the same adblockers. I installed an add-on that speeds up ads so fast that you don't even notice them. LOL Problem solved!

I'm logged in and it works with pihole, ublock and Firefox.

I use FireFox + uBlock Origin, and never see ads. I did have to disable my other adblock/privacy extensions (DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials, PrivacyBadger, and Ghostery) for YouTube before its anti-adblock stopped complaining, but FF+uBO seems to work just fine with default filters enabled.

Huh I still have these addons active, and it still works with pihole, ublock and Firefox ...
