if they outright forced us to stop day one there'd be outrage, so they instead ease us in. first a popup, then a timed popup, slowly leading to their actual goal but without the risk of an initial outrage. i know this is an extreme comparison but we're like lambs to a slaughter
You're viewing a single thread.
I started getting the popups recently. Tried blocking the elements with uBlock, but in turn it would pause the video 2 seconds in. Pretty annoying. So I said screw it and installed an extension that would redirect the youtube watch page to an Invidious instance. Might as well make the transition now before they completely block adblockers for good. Screw Google!
Google’s pretty bad
Indeed. They are starting to piss me off with all their BS.
It’s pretty grim
What extension do you use to redirect youtube page?
Not the original commenter , but I'd think is Libredirect
Dang, had no idea this existed. Thanks!
Thanks!
Tampermonkey along with this userscript. Works a charm!
