Youtube throttling people using ad blockers

[EmeraldR]

Simply using the Brave browser on the computer or phone will remove all the ads on Youtube and elsewhere. It does not get any simpler than that.

Yes indeed firefox as well - the main issue is not so much about blocking ads but the throttling and slowing down of videos on all browsers

usually with this pop up banner >>" experiencing interruptions,find out why " <<

ive been using rumble as some of the geopolical videos such duran ,alex christoforou etc are there - no issues watching them on rumble !

I use Skipcut on my work PC as I can't install extensions/add blockers. It allows you to paste the YouTube link into the website and watch add free.

There are few alternatives if one wants to get rid of ads, but also tracking. Easiest to use are:

- PCs: FreeTube - The Private YouTube Client
- Android: NewPipe - a free YouTube client

Although they break from time to time, as YouTube is introducing countermeasures.
