I don't know why I don't have ad problems and errors like I've been reading for a while now. My laptop has Kubuntu with Proton vpn set to block ads, and just bare bones Brave with ad blocking set to whatever max in the settings. My phone is Android with FF and uBlock, and also Proton vpn. I haven't been blocked or seen an ad, although I don't use YouTube very much. If I open YT links on my phone, is there acutually ads there that I'm not seeing? I can open YT in FF and just get a home page, play a video uniterrupted. Lately tho, if I wanted to look up something specific I just used piped.video, but I was frustrated by a java error on piped for a bit, so thats when I started using just YT again, and like I said, I have't seen any ads. I'm using piped again now.
