Ad blocking on your phone and TV including YT is possible BTW.

I absolutely agree about trailers though. Trailers ruin movies.

It blocks the YT ads. Watch video, cast to TV. Isn't that what your original question was? I mentioned SmartTube in my 1st reply as it's the best adblocked YT experience on a TV for sure, but it does require an Android based set top box or TV OS. If you are in an Apple ecosystem, use brave just for casting YT to TV.

Me either, but it is effective at blocking YouTube ads on iOS for free 🤷🏼‍♂️

There are other paid options, and other side loading options as well. But Brave is easy and it works. I only use it for youtube.com on my iPad, so I'm personally fine with allowance for that.

Use SmartTube on Android TV and Fire TV. Cast from Brave browser on Apple TV or Roku.

[Google] will shove ads in your face [literally any time any place they can get away with it]

I switched to searx.be a couple of days ago and so far I'm quite happy with the results.

Oh, please please PLEASE I hope they can get this right to get some real competition in the tablet space.

I picked a cheap phone on purpose, but I don't know how I'll be able to go back to a phone that doesn't have the chop to activate the flashlight gesture. It works everytime for me, and it's a pretty easy gesture. I've never had it go off accidentally either. Same goes for the double twist for the camera.

The guestures have been such a pleasant surprise for my budget tier device.

Cool, thanks! Something I've been meaning to try out.

Which one? Something paid or self hosted?

There are already other open source forks of Firefox that are community driven and maintained without employees or a for profit organization behind them. The obvious example is LibreWolf which describes itself as "a custom and independent version of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy, security and user freedom". There's no argument that maintaining a web browser is currently complex and needs to make security first decisions, but LibreWolf as an example shows us that it is not only possible but I argue proves it will continue even if Firefox as we know it goes away.
