I ended my Premium subscription about six months ago and instead got a VPN set to Albania. Ads? Gone. I live fucking with the google’s data harvesting operations

You can also install ReVanced on Android

Or grayjay.app or Firefox with ublock origin or lots of ways that font involve giving Google money

I just installed ReVanced and it’s full of ads. How do I stop that?
Show threadKushan6d ago
Try morphe, it’s the current modern version of revanced.

There is a chance that its a knock off pretending to be revanced

Where did you download it?

On my mom’s apple TV?

I don’t know about Apple TV. But for Android TV you can install SmartTube

The ones who scream the loudest about this never have a solution for Apple devices and it’s annoying.

They exist; people just don’t take the time to figure it out and give an answer.

As much as I disagree with their practices, Brave browser on iOS will block YT ads.

On iOS you can get uBlock Origin Lite for Safari and it works very well. You can also download the Orion browser which lets you get Firefox and Chrome extensions and can get uBO or whatever else that way too.

We saw Apple’s closed ecosystem as the trap that it is, and avoided it. Can’t really help you if you’re still inside the cage.

You’re also missing out on a bunch of other cool shit, honestly.

But I get it, it is convenient. I’m not mad. I just also can’t help you fly free until you leave the cage.

“Flee the cage” to another company that’s going to limit what I can and can’t load AND is selling my data at every possible moment?

Who’s the one deluding themselves now?

Show threadpinball_wizard4d ago

I didn’t recommend Google and I don’t sit in their cage either.

We early adopters are so far further away than you imagine.

Here’s the starter kit, if you’re ready:

Linux Mint - Wikipedia

So what company do you recommend?
Show threadpinball_wizard3d ago

I recommend freedom.

Like Christmas in Whoville, freedom doesn’t come wrapped in a company.

Freedom comes from standing in the cold naked air on free software with no cloud services except what you can wrangle from the earth with your own two hands.

So no real answer.

Show threadpinball_wizard3d ago
There is no corporate answer.

Unwatched works on ios, not sure about tv

Copying my other comment from this thread:

Most of the revanced devs left the project (due to some issues with another dev) to found morphe, I suggest switching over to that

There’s a list of extra patches you can add to morphe here: old.reddit.com/…/how_to_patch_more_apps_with_morp…
