Does a whole-home ad blocker actually work well?
Has anyone here tried a whole-home ad blocker? I'm thinking about getting one, but I'm not sure how well they actually work. Do they block ads reliably across phones, PCs, smart TVs, etc.? And is it worth buying one, or are there better/cheaper alternatives? Would love to hear from people who have actually used one.

Do you use an ad blocker mainly for the ads or for the tracking?
Most people probably install an ad blocker because they're tired of seeing ads everywhere, but blocking trackers might actually be the more useful part. Even if I didn't mind seeing a few ads, I'd still rather not have a bunch of trackers following me across different sites.
What about you? If ads became less annoying tomorrow, would you still keep your ad blocker just for the privacy side of it?

Using YouTube in a mobile browser makes me feel uncomfortable
When I click on a video from the homepage of YouTube in my browser to watch it, and then slide back to the previous page using the sidebar, the homepage automatically refreshes, which is very annoying for me.l hope that when I return, I can stil see the recommended videos l initially saw, just like in the app. I don't want to use the app，because it has too many advertisements.Before using revanced, I have to open microG every time, which I don't like.

Use the embedded player to avoid ads on Youtube
A lot of people are complaining about their AdBlocker not working on Youtube every now and then. Its a constant cat and mouse game, so if you use Youtube often, you will almost always have some sort of an issue.
Luckily, there is an easy fix for this. Simply use their embedded version of the player. It was originally meant for watching videos on different sites, but due to their contract with advertisers, it is ad-free on most sites (https://youtubeembedcode.com/en/).
However, the UI is really bad. Not sure why they like the mobile design so much. 360 videos don’t even work in it. Luckily, I made a fix for it, so you can use the nocookie version of Youtube to enjoy ad-free playback again.
