    If that’s real, I’m pretty sure the EU will have something to say about that, as well as the FCC. That’s a flagrant violation of net neutrality.

      quick, question. Would you be willing to pay for a “premium” video hosting website? I’m not doing s study I’m just curious. Caz I think paying isn’t the problem it’s yt, We know very well that it can survive with moderate ads, but what about a payed platform that has no ads and doesn’t sell your data?

        Shoutout to nebula. Depending on how much content you consume it might not be enough for you, but it’s cool to have an independent platform doing stuff.

    If Youtube isn’t allowed to check my browser if I use ublock origin. Is it allowed to check what browser I use and restrict curtain things?

    I had noticed too. Although I mostly use FreeTube by now I am a tab hoarder and if I open a YouTube tab with a video in Firefox it does take a few seconds until the page is displayed correctly after the tab has finished loading.

    I’ve also noticed Revanced needs updated pretty often or it gets fucked. I really don’t want to have to switch to an alternative that doesn’t allow me to sign in to my account, but I refuse to give in to Alphabets demands.

      I’m still running one of the early versions completely fine. I wonder what might be different on your end. I would update but I’m honestly unsure the correct way to update revanced

      That’s interesting, I’ve only had to update revanced once so far in about a year of use. Would it differ per phone?
