I'm on it daily. A ton of hours between watching videos and enjoying the music catalogue. It's definitely the only reason I don't mind paying premium. No complaints.

My unpopular opinion is that YouTube has every right to enforce ads on their platform if you're not paying for the service.

Is there a wiki for the best way to block ads per device type?

I've figures it out on Fire Stick (I know) and Firefox but I have no experience installing android apps via root or developer mode.

Use YouTube revanced. It's an app that patches the official YouTube apk. Basically you provide the version of the apk it requires (the patcher will tell you), select which patches you want (you can put all of them and disable what you don't need in the settings later) and if will create a new apk without ads that you can install

For android use either YouTube revanced or newpipe.

Also there is the piracy megathread which will help you with that!

Also adblocking DNS server in your router, or PiHole

You don't know what daddy and Billy did in the panel before.

On PC and Android, I don't know why everyone doesn't use Youtube Revanced. Both the normal and extended editions are better than even YouTube Premium through their website and official app.

Firefox, uBlock Origin, and Malwarebytes.
