YouTube is testing a series of new unskippable 30-second ads that will appear far more often for viewers.

    I haven’t seen an ad on Youtube in several years, thanks to uBlock Origin.

          Best link is to look up the Reddit page to find their links in the info bar. We shouldn’t be posting links here, or we might very well lose the privilege once Google catches on…

          Love libretube but it just wouldn’t play videos consistently. Ended up moving to grayjay
