I'll just use Firefox mobile with uBlock Origin then, literally anything is better than ads
And when that stops working, I'll just stop watching any YouTube videos.
Yup. At the end of the day, YouTube provides two resources: entertainment and information. Given that I'm willing to drop any particular creator or show, which I am, entertainment can always be found elsewhere. Worst case, I suffer a little bit of FOMO. And information in the internet ecosystem is like water in nature; it finds a way to keep flowing around
Firefox Mobile supports SponsorBlock too. uBO+SponsorBlock is the best thing ever happened to Youtube so far.
