    YouTube is testing a series of new unskippable 30-second ads that will appear far more often for viewers.

      Ublock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

          I think it’s back to just SmartTube. SmartTubeNext was a temporary thing to get SmartTube back on track iirc.

            I am fairly certain SmartTubeNext was a rebrand by the same dev.

          I like Tubular and/or Seal(a yt-dlp wrapper) on Android and don’t use a TV, but yeah, anything but the actual YouTube app is probably better.

          It’s a typo, they mean the ad blocking software uBlock Origin.

              I guess I need someone to explain it to me, because they even fixed their typo.
