A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

FreeTube + integrated SponsorBlock

It blocks normal ads, plus Sponsored segments and some other segments if you wish to. Its configurable. This addon is also available for Firefox. I do not use Firefox to watch YouTube anymore.

I hadn't heard of FreeTube, thanks for the recommendation.

It lets you have a local configuration that keep tracks of what videos you watched and allows for custom playlists. Without a Google account. I don't know if a smartphone app is available, as I only use it on my PC.
