do i really have to ditch chrome to get an adblocker?

hi!

I got a really nice laptop for the first time and i want to take care of it and a pleasant user experience.

I know jack shit about computers and networks though, so trying to find a user friendly ad blocker has been a little tough.

The main issue arising is that i am an avid chrome user and it seems most ad blockers don't work for chrome without some work around

So is it time i become a woman and switch to Firefox? will that allow me the power of ad blocking?

Id also appreciate any recommendations for user friendly/for dummies ad blockers

Adblocker disappearing

Really weird, worrying and annoying: Two days ago I realized that the microsoft edge ad blocker I had been using wasn´t there anymore and I was getting a bunch of ads. I installed a different one and today the ads are back again! My adblocker is nowhere to be seen. Wtf. How does this happen?

iPhone app like Video Lite without ads?

Hi guy,

does anyone know an ios app similar to Video Lite, but without the crazy amount of ads when it opens? I tried Enhancer yt, and the thing I really do not like is that as soon as I open it again, the first screen is full of thumbnails and suggested videos.

basically, I am looking for something more blank and private, where I can just use YouTube without getting flooded with recommendations right away. I want a cleaner experience, without all the extra ad clutter and without the app constantly pushing videos at me at start

Is there anything like that on iPhone right now, or any app you can recommend me for a more private youtube experience?

For those who complain about adult ads on YT

Every other day I see someone complaining they keep seeing adult ads on YT alongside of their normal content, so here are some important Algo points to understand:

• The algorithm works based on your interest. Most probably, you are seeing these ads because someone (or you) is using your device (or your internet network) to access this category of content.
• A good suggestion is to either use VPN along with changing your main browser profile (better to not get to those websites though)
• Ads personalization also comes from your logged in profile. So if you are signed up on your phone while watching certain content it will propogate to your other devices.
• AI queries and social media are also connected with your browser and search engines. So if you are using AI like gpt or social media like Facebook for something it will follow you on YouTube. Most of these sites have internal partnerships to share advertising data.
• End to end encryption is a lie: Your whatsapp chats are not encrypted as facebook claims. At least not in full. The data is harnessed for making a digital profile and predict what might be interesting to you not just right now but also in the future.

One final suggestion: Find some good communities to join. Clean your feed and fill more of good stuff
