    Firefox + uBlock Origin + User Agent Switcher (set to Chrome). I did get the pop-up once saying they would cut me off. I cleared cache and browsing data and haven’t seen the warning since. 🤞

    The only issue I have with YouTube is that while using an Ad blocker it doesn’t track videos I have already seen in my subscriptions.

    So it will tell me that I didn’t watch a video I just watched.

    A small price to pay for an ad free experience but a bit annoying still.

    My biggest issue is circumventing ads on smart TV apps, 99% of my YT viewing is on a TV.

    It’s baffling to me, how many people complain about YouTube- and continue to use YouTube. At this rate, they could murder your families and you’d still give them business.

    JUST STOP USING YOUTUBE.
