So this started coming up today. On every video. I can (so far) click the "x" and remove it to watch (still see 2 ads before the video, and one after 4 minutes - ruins music on YT), but did click the "Report issue" only for the dialogue box not to work.

I found a link to a that said 11% use adblock. Thats not a lot.Maaayyyybe there is a problem with the amount of ads youtube forces down our throats for even short videos. 🤷‍♂️

I had no idea Sponsor Block was available as an FF addon. Any idea if it works on FF mobile?

[–] Kissaki@feddit.de 4 points 11 months ago

FF mobile currently has a very selected list of available extensions, which does not include it yet.

But that's about to change before the end of the year. FF mobile is finally opening up add on usability and distribution.

Not through the official firefox mobile. Maybe you can get it to work with firefox nightly, but I haven't tested myself.

But I can recommend Libretube or "Newpipe X sponsorblock X return youtube dislike". If you haven't installed Fdroid I can recommend that as well. It functions as an appstore (Like the PlayStore), and you can find/upgrade the apps through there. Otherwise you may find the apks manually on github

Though luck if you're on iOS, but I assume you're on Android.
