Have to use Windows for work (I’ve asked), the ads have been getting worse and worse on my work laptop. Today got a game ad notification… That’s clearly too far, right? Like I have to clear notifications, so I have to see it

    Thanks! I’ll give it a shot. I wish I could just have YouTube links open in the browser. I hate the app. I have to close it 3 times before the stupid video window goes away.

      You should be able to uninstall it using adb commands, if you’re willing to give it a try.

      Else, Newpipe is really neat. Background playback, no ads, sponsored segments automatically skipped.

      It’s basically youtube premium plus extra features.

          Been using it for >7 years now since one of the earliest alpha versions, perfectly safe :-)

              Yep, I’ve been with this fork as well ever since they started. It’s so blissful to experience just the pure video…
