Those YouTube ads everyone hates made $10.4 billion in just three months

You need an android TV or an android box similar to a Roku to use that? Not super familiar. Any recommendations to be compatible with my current non-smart TV?

Sponsor block is a nice extra though

[mortimer@lemmy.world]

Yeah. What ads?

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Same. We should all collectively abandon ship and just learn Esperanto or something.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

I just avoid channels with annoying sponsor segments, that has been a pretty good filter which also largely avoids clickbaity titles, since they seem to go hand in hand.

On Android.

[cairhienbookworm@lemmy.world]

DNS filering alone doesn't work for YouTube in my experience.

[knobbysideup@sh.itjust.works]

Android streaming boxes are the most flexible. Replace the stock launcher with projectivy once set up.

Inexpensive: Onn

Best: Nvidia Shield Pro

I don't hate them. I think 80% should go back to the creators though.

I don't even think he's that bad. The worst thing he did was create JavaScript, which is largely fixed now, and the second worst is donate to an anti-LGBT group with his own money. As CEO of Mozilla, he led a very diverse group, diverse enough to kick him out once they found out about his donation.

I personally wish he was back at Mozilla instead of the nonsense leaders they've had since he left. I certainly don't agree with his political views, but he built a great organization and I think Mozilla would be in a better place with him at the helm.

I don't use Brave as my main browser because I think Firefox is still worth supporting as an independent browser engine, but Brave is my backup if I need a chromium browser.

You're absolutely right and I forgot that for a moment there.

[sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works]

Yup, it's my backup if I need a chromium browser for something. I just don't engage with the BAT nonsense and it's about as good as a chromium browser can get IMO.

Firefox w/ uBlock Origin is my main though, mostly because I want to support independent browser engines.

Subbed to find out what your month understanding will be

[reverendender@sh.itjust.works]

Are you speaking from experience? Because I am. And those don’t work. This is right now, on iOS 18.3 on my iPhone 16 Pro.

Yeah, I kinda assumed the people who cared about these sorts of things wouldn't be using an iPhone.
