You can't login to your Youtube account but it does have features like playing videos with the screen off. There's also Invidious as a way of watching it without ads on desktop. Yeah. I have NewPipe as well. Its just that in my experience it tends to wig out and have network errors somewhat regularly. --- Console war in a nutshell: http://imgur.com/xA6GJZ9.png <cite>PraetorXyn posted [p:976638208] in Youtube is...

For the epileptic flashing ads. For the ads that tried to download God knows what. For the pop ups. The full screens. The pop unders. Every obnoxious piece of shit advertising under the sun. Not gonna go back to any of that shit. I'll drop the fucking Internet itself before I put up with that. If advertisers didn't want adblockers to exist, they shouldn't have been dicks about their ads back when they didn't exist. Same here. I'll drop youtube before I put up with ads. <cite>garan posted [p:976638548] in Youtube is...

Unfortunately, the cast majority of YouTube viewers, and perhaps the majority of Internet users, are not using AdBlock software. They'll either put up with the ads or pay up. --- Eat the rich Destroy the GOP <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:976639493] in Youtube is...
