Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.

When will people learn? YouTube is hot garbage and its time to move on.

I know. I know. You people love your trash.

What alternatives are there?

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use YouTube once every... month? Two months? This speaking as someone who would use it daily. I assume it depends on your use. For me it was music. Now I just use a music service.

I don't watch TV, so I actually use YouTube for a lot of entertainment and education. Veritasium, CGP Grey, Ramblomatic, How to cook that, Kurzgesagt, Numberphile, Agadmator... And more.
