    Last time I saw a youtube ad was probably 2009. Or it might have been 2008.

    Android: https://newpipe.net/

    Smart TV: https://smarttubeapp.github.io/

    Computer: https://ublockorigin.com/

      SmartTube is for Android, as is NewPipe. You need a Smart TV with Android TV. Other TVs do not have a way out.

          Huh? Last release is from three days ago and the last commit to SmartTube’s GitHub repository is two hours old.

          Where did you read that the developer left?

              The repo was compromised and you need to change sources. Check the announcements

        Their way out is using an external device.

          Of course, but it’s a bit misleading. I thought it might be helpful to add that comment.
