          I installed the newer version of revanced on my SO’s phone and after a while it started just like… stopping videos out of nowhere. By that point I forgot how to reinstall it, and didnt feel like relearning all that, so unfortunately it’s back to ad city :/

        In my experience libretube with default instances is bad, I couldn’t even watch a single video without buffering every 3 minutes for a minute.

        With a selfhosted instance however, libretube is perfect

          Thankfully YouTube outs itself with the “most replayed” graph in the video timeline.

          You can just skip right to the peak which is always right after the sponsor bit.

            yeah but sponsorblock can identify more: intros, filler content, self promotion, non music parts of a music video… also has a highlight indicator which skips to the most relevant part.

            these are crowdsourced so not 100% but still pretty good

      Adblockers time is coming to an end sadly. If it isn’t this round, eventually someone is going to make it impossible to use the Internet with an adblocker.

      Money owns the internet and money wants more money.

        There’s just one small problem which is that my computer is a general purpose machine which means I can make it do whatever I want. They can invent new tricks, but we can always counter them.
