    After scrolling for a bit on Lemmy I saw a post that Grayjay had a desktop app now too. No need for ad blockers etc. Just use Grayjay! It’s awesome! (no yt shorts cancer for example, and multi platform support so not just yt) Grayjay.app

    Link to desktop version website

      Just tried Grayjay on desktop last night. Syncing with mobile is awesome.

      But on desktop, I’ll continue to use freetube because i can block channels (or even content by keyword) from showing up on my feed.

      If you only watch content that you’re sibscribed to, then this shouldn’t even be a concern.

    If you are a little experienced and know how to deal with Docker, you could self-host Invidious yourself on your local PC or laptop. Works fine for me for multiple months.

      Seems weirdly intermittent. I just ignored it and it still seems to be working. I just couldn’t play certain specific videos in certain windows. Once I opened it in a new window it seems to work, and now I know the settings I need to tweak

      It’s account/fingerprint-based, not location. YouTube will issue you 3 of these warning messages within a certain time frame if you access the site with adblock. The third message is the one OP posted, where the video player is disabled.

      is there some list of all the options? I would be cool with having multiple apps if they don’t break them all at the same time

    I am looking forward to someone suing YouTube for deceptive advertising after they get ads on premium.

    Ads allow YouTube to be used by billions worldwide

    They’re literally giving us more reasons to use an ad blocker.

    I haven’t had to do much more than reload a page after getting this. Ublock, noscript, privacy badger on firefox. I think the unlock folks work long and hard at this. Makes me want to give them money.

    Sponsorblock will make up for the lost time and save you even more time.
