Or GrayJay on Android.

firefox too, chrome is about to gimp adblockers

[–] MotoAsh@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

Unless I'm misremembering something, haven't they already pushed the changes?

... I could be misremembering ublock origin saying they already have two flavors worked out to support gimp chromium vs real browsers.

Absolutely essential. SponsorBlock is very nearly as important, and BlockTube also does a lot of annoyance damage control.

What is the easiest way to get YouTube with UBlock and SponsorBlock on a LG TV? I don’t care about any other smart TV features, already have a Jellyfin server.

Some little device plus some installer…?

[–] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Maybe FCast and then using GrayJay if you have an Android device? It's an option, but there's probably an easier way.

[–] deegeese@sopuli.xyz 2 points 5 months ago (1 children)

No android device. Looking for something I can plug into a HDMI port and control with a remote, not depend on a phone.

[–] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 months ago

Then any Chromecast or Firestick device that runs the Android TV OS will work fine. Just have to sideload the SmartTube app. Directions will vary by device, but it's generally not too tough.

I believe the best cost to feature value is Walmart's one. Don't recall the name at the moment.

Maybe have a look into this? https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos Though it does requires WebOS Homebrew Channel

Else I found a firestick works fine with SmartTube , but it's got all that amazon bloat over it so perhaps a raspberry pi would be better instead

[–] SturgiesYrFase@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

For webOS Homebrew Channel, if you have a pre-2022 firmware then you can go to rootmy.tv and it installs the homebrew channel as part of the process

The second my ad blocker stops working is the second I kiss YouTube goodbye forever

Mozilla Firefox with ublock works both on your PC and phone. You can disable the YouTube app so it opens all links in Firefox by default.
