Periodic reminder that you can make Youtube not suck with the following browser extensions:

* uBlock Origin to block the video ads
* This additional uBO filter list to block the UI junk: https://github.com/mchangrh/yt-neuter
* SponsorBlock to skip sponsored segments: https://sponsor.ajay.app/

I'm sure the fediverse already knows this but every so often I still run into someone who doesn't.

@russss admittedly I use only one of these plugins so didn't know, however I've been using libretube and freetube for quite a while.

@oni I gave FreeTube a try a little while ago but I really missed the recommendations because the YouTube recommendation algorithm works incredibly well for me. I have it very well trained.

@oni I have been toying with using ytdl-sub to ingest some channels into Jellyfin but I think I would need a lot more disk space to download my entire subscription list...

@russss Ah, I've never really used the recommended. Perhaps I should? I'll take a look at these plugins. Thanks

@russss It's wild the number of normal people who don't ad block.

@Akki @russss I do use uBlock Origin but I hadn't seen sponsor block.
