Youtube Sucks

[Fourinarow]

I've been using Brave for years. Dread to think how bad YouTube ads are nowadays.

If you didn't know and use it on your phone you can add YouTube via Brave to your home screen so it's like an app. And it also allows you to play YouTube with your screen off/locked or in the background, which is also very useful.

It also blocks ads on X, so I don't use the X app either. Brave X app instead.

And it's great for streaming matches as it fucks off all the ads and pop ups.

How do you do this?

How do you do this?

If you're on Android, download the Brave app. (not sure about iPhone)

Bring up YouTube in Brave app.

Then the 3 buttons in the bottom right corner and select add to home screen.



Then select settings, scroll down to Media and toggle the background play.

A bit more involved but i have a DD_WRT capable spare router (It runs firmware not intended for it to run adding functionality it was not intended. (strictly speaking I think its a small linux distro)https://dd-wrt.com/

A Pi-Hole works similar magic which can be a lot easier to work on

Only problem I'm finding with this is you can't stream it the tv? Without screen mirroring your whole phone?
