If you go the video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GsjHMzGl-VY. You will see it's gone. So Youtube being Youtube.

Here's a Odysee mirror of the video, https://odysee.com/@jopec:7/linus-tech-tips-degoogle-your-life-part-2-adfree-youtube:0.

I don't have premium, and I don't see any ads either

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I'm a pretty happy camper.

[–] nadram@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Firefox, UBO, Privacy Badger,,,,,,, and YT Premium. Sorry if I disappoint, but that family account with YT music is a great solution. Not to say I wouldn't reconsider when prices increase...

Even on mobile? is there a solution that does not involve root access?

ReVanced if you want the original Youtube app

Otherwise there are dozens of apps which don't show ads, just look arround F-Droid

SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV

A number of player apps. I use PipePipe (Newpipe fork).

[–] Swarfega@lemm.ee 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I use PipePipe too. Also has SponserBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.

Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.

On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile

Doesn't work for YouTube

[–] Cypher@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
