Youtube madness

[Circlotron]

I use Adblock Plus as well as a hosts file. Belt and braces for me!

# Use this file to prevent your computer from connecting to selected
# internet hosts. This is an easy and effective way to protect you from
# many types of spyware, reduces bandwidth use, blocks certain pop-up
# traps, prevents user tracking by way of "web bugs" embedded in spam,
# provides partial protection to IE from certain web-based exploits and
# blocks most advertising you would otherwise be subjected to on the
# internet.

Youtube sure is flat out wasting there advertisers money!

Like many company's these days making money is 2nd to agenda.

If you have a Fire Stick you can load up an apk called Smart Tube. Solves all your problems. It's YT without all the BS.

Brilliance, thank You

Been using Brave for a few years now, settings are screwed down as tight as they can be and have virtually no site crashes or attendant annoyances

Coupled that to DD Go and browsing is a fairly seamless experience these days

Also haven't used MS Win forever now, just Linux/Ubuntu ....... I'd suggest others maybe give it a go
