Piped or FreeTube on desktop.
LibreTube on mobile. SmartTube on Android TV.
I haven't had to deal with Google's crap in a while. All of these have no ads and have Sponsorblock built-in. I do miss the algorithm's suggestions but I do discover new content creators through Nebula (and FreeTube has decent related video suggestions in my experience).
Does this apply to Freetube, Invidious and other yt mirrors?
More than happy to wait
Haven't experienced that so far (but that's probably because I don't log into my YouTube account anymore and mostly use private browsing), but I imagine that's something that adblockers will eventually be able to block?
Tee hee. I don't use UserTuber.
