A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Oh gosh, that's unfortunate.

Good thing I've been using NewPipe! I'm reading the post for other alternatives, but feel free to suggest some to me directly, if you'd like.

I have used freetube on windows. I assume adblock is in browser context here, so freetube should skip the browser completely.

Thanks for the recommendation.

I'm using Linux right now, and glad to see they have it on Flathub. I think I'll give that a try now!

You might consider looking at invidious.

It wraps up youtube content such that you see 0 ads, have 0 tracking, and a much better overall experience. As well it lets you connect to other content like stuff hosted on peertube.

Thank you!

It looks like FreeTube actually has the option to route through invidious for all of those benefits. That's really cool!
