YouTube is running an experiment asking some users to disable their ad blockers or pay for a premium subscription, or they will not be allowed to watch videos.

    Hey, where do I find this? UBlock blocks the top links on DDG as “Badware risk”

      Unfortunetly google is stupid and shows fake wabsites as the top result, with the official one beeing way down the search results.

      The official website is revanced.app or the github.

      Also note that the revanced team dosen’t distribite pre-patched APKs for copyright reasons. Instead you have to patch a stock APK yourself.

        Ah, okay. Thanks. I can definitely patch an APK if I can get the stock APK. I’ve been using Newpipe for ages, but it would be nice to have access to my YouTube accounts while also not having ads.
