Ublock Origin on Firefox With Sponsorblock is the answer.

Edit: Mispelling, fuck autocorrection

And ReVanced on Android, SmartTubeNext on Android TV.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dran_Arcana@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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.

How do you unlock origin? I have been blocking it thinking it caused the ads

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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

[–] gallopingsnail@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

The RandomVideos is joking, not z3rOR0ne

[–] RandomVideos@programming.dev 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I am already blocking origin, i was asking how i unlock it

Ask ChatGPT and get back to us with the answer.
