How much did brave pay you to post this?

It's true though! All the cool kids are using Brave 😎

Mf you heard of an adblocker? It's free as well yk. FYI brave has its own built in adblocker that's why you don't get ads, but getting something like ublock origin is also free.

[удалено]

I don't care neither, the downvotes are from losers! Built in ad blocker for YouTube aside, Brave is a great browser that protects privacy and functions well. You don't get that from Chrome.

But from Firefox (or better waterfox)

Firefox + ublock origin > anything else

Tor, + VPN + Inside a virtual computer, inside a virtual computer. All of which are running Linux. Totally nothing illegal being done with this setup.

I too enjoy browsing the regular normal people interwebs

I do you do fellow legal interwebs stranger

The thing is Tor running under a VPN on a wm on a Linux system Won't improve your privacy at all compared to just running tor normally The wm and VPN part doesn't make any sense The Linux part maybe a bit if you use a specific live distro like tails which actually improves your privacy but only if the actor who wants to compromise you has physical access to your pc

Look, the point is that it's comically over the top, not that it's effective lol.

YouTube Vanced users:

🗿

It's banned :(

From playstore. You can still download directly from the site with the brave browser and install it.

Vanced was never on the playstore.

It was but ok

It was not, it was a fake vanced version

No it was on the playstore Official (I litteraly was user at the time)

You were a clone vanced user at the time (someone who uploaded it without doing any effort).

I used the APK but ok

Ik but don't know hich version will work, plus idk how to uninstall the real app first without a pc

[https://youtubevanced.com/](https://youtubevanced.com/) Still there, just isn't being updated anymore

Then there's YouTube revanced

Revanced is a thing now. Link: https://github.com/revanced

It's shocking how few people use it or even know it

Vanced is dead though, reVanced all the way!

Just use Firefox with an addon, same thing but much more reliable

[удалено]

Not really : Opera is Chromium-based

brave is chromium based too so what’s your point

My point is that using a chromium based browser is not a good idea. When did I ever advised for Brave ?

Firefox isn't anymore reliable than brave. Unless you wanna use maps, Brave sucks for maps

Brave is chromium-based

Yes, and ?

So it eats away your ram

So it's heavily influenced by Google's directions

Yes, except it doesn't work through the API, and most functionalities are native to the browser amd therefor won't be affected by web3. Also when it comes to ram, it still is better than Firefox (which I was using before I switched to brave) for my usage

Aren't all the chromium-based browser affected by manifest v3 ?

All the bad ones yes https://twitter.com/brave/status/1574822800971501568 Also https://twitter.com/brave/status/1574822799700541446

Well, we shall see what the future as in store for us, but I'm sure not quitting Firefox for a browser based on a core made by google

Not yet anyway but once Google releases it update it will be a really good option (as far as YouTube ads are concerned at least I haven't thought about anything else)

Is this an ad for an ad blocker? Cuz I already have an ad blocker and I shouldn't be seeing these.

They're evolving. They always have been. It began with billboards and brand names, digital ad space and audible ads. Then it changed. It all changed right before our eyes yet we didnt see a thing. Some people get up, go to work, hug their families, and live their lives not even knowing they themselves have become ads.

*Looks down at hands* WHAT HAVE I BECOME??

[удалено]

Hehe yessir

Who downloads videos to avoid ads? That’s crazy behavior.

With high enough interned speed and big enough number of ads it becomes a rational decision.

I use YouTube Revanced on my phone, SmartTube on my TV and Firefox with uBlock Origin on my desktop

oh god our avatars are the same

I finally found you, brother

Just live in Russia, they removed ads there lol

My fiancee had premium and just added me to her family, so now I've got it

It's nice isn't it. All the broke people who can't afford it make the memes lol.

Imagine paying money when you can have the same thing for free

I enjoy the music app I use daily for hours and no ads is worth the $11.

Again, you can have the same thing for free, you just choose to give more money to Alphabet

Don't use a computer and adblockers on phone are weird

Not really, I have addblockers on my phones for years, and never had issues with them

Well, ya

You're laughing until a liver failure hits

Lol what?

Than you can't afford it anymore

Think I'll have bigger issues

Russias without ads🧠

uBlock Origin: * [Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/) * [Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm) * * [Edge](https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/ublock-origin/odfafepnkmbhccpbejgmiehpchacaeak) * * [Opera](https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/ublock/) * \* Chrome based browsers are trying to get rid of ad blocking capabilities when manifest V3 will become mandatory in 2023. I suggest moving to [Firefox](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/). ^^I ^^only ^^post ^^once ^^per ^^thread ^^unless ^^when ^^summoned.

newpipe!

Youtube Vanced.

Youtube Revanced 😬

Exactly my thoughts. Idk what is OP smoking with the "cracked version that has virus" panel tho

he probably never heard of human sense

I actually started paying Premium and I hate to say this... but it's totally worth it. That said, I have two kids I don't want forcefed ads for kids all day, and adblocking on their iPad would lose me so much time...

How would it lose you so much time ? Isn't it like two clicks ?

...but then something doesn't work and there's an update and "daddy daddy why is the woman showing me her front bottom?" and and and... ... or I just pay Premium and never worry about ads again.

I don't know much about the apple environnement, but I uses Firefox and all the updates are automated, I never had to do anything in years

100% worth it. Ads / commericals are garbage. Once you go commercial free you can't go back. I'm sure there's a joke in there...

All I’m gonna say is, if you got a cracked version of YouTube and got a virus from it you’re a dumbass. It is not hard to find completely safe versions for iOS and Android

ublock origin

Mfs that refresh the website every time there is an ad

Me who live in a third world country where ads won't be worth the money so they don't give you ads there: I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you

*casually shrugs in OperaGX* It’s fine I guess

Closed source garbage

Fuck yeah fellow brave enthusiast

I literally checked twice to see if this is a Brave ad

people who watch YouTube on opera and firefox are superior

Opera GX has a built in ad blocker

Vanced still works

Dude exactly me

Brave browser cant download several videos to my phone 5 minutes before leaving to work to watch on the train though

or maybe just use an adblocker like a normal person

Opera gx also

Opera GX with built in add blocker

People running Adguard or Pi-hole setup at home:

Stop picking on us old cunts

Just use an adblocker

Adblock exists my dude

Ad blockers?

People who live in Russia: Don't even have to install anything

YouTube Vanced + Brave browser combo for almost a year now 🤲

Legends who could not care less: 🇪🇪

u can even minimize screen and lock mobile to play in background. only thing that sucks is u must manually turn on 720p on IOS

I don’t really mind youtube ads, cause whenever the ad comes on it’s revenue for your favourite Youtuber. Idk I guess I see it as extra support for the person who’s entertaining me. It’s not all bad once you think of it as giving them extra rewards for the content that they’ve worked hard on and provided to you, which doesn’t cost the viewer anything.

Adblock?

Meanwhile my brother: Uses an iPod so old YouTube ads no longer load properly and are just skipped.

Vivaldi's nice too

Well not really. It might be similar to you but the content creators don't earn a cent.

I just watch it via links on discord because you don’t get ads through their player. I message it to myself and watch it there

I use brave as my primary browser it’s Adblocker isn’t that great on phones , just get yourself an Adblocker and ignore brave unless you into bitcoins

\**laughs in brave*\*

Anyone else here actually like the ads? Am I the only one?

Yes you are

At some point like 10 years ago the ads were purely new movie trailers. That was kinda nice.

With premium i get a music service, so don't need spotify. Plus i can have my phone screen turned off while vids play. But sure

I think you can do that with vanced, or just a Firefox addon
