I absolutely despise how they keep making the home page thumbnails larger and larger. Soon, you will only be able to view one thumbnail at a time. I use Stylus to combat this, specifically an extension called AdashimaaTube. Are there better recommendations to fix this?
>>108718299Never used Stylus. I use YouTube Redux
>>108718299I use this in my uBlock Origin:! Changing the amount of videos per rowyoutube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 6 !important;)! Using full page width for video gridsyoutube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid-6-columns:style(width: 100% !important;)youtube.com##ytd-two-column-browse-results-renderer.grid:not(.grid-disabled):style(max-width: 100% !important;)
>>108718105the absolute best part for me is even if you give in and pay the fucking 10 bucks or whatever the fucking "creators" still need a patreon and 30 product placements a video to make a living. sheeeeeeshh
not a problem with my youtube clientno web browsersno extensionsno scriptsno ads

YouTube Premium! It just werks.
>>108719560I'd buy it if it offered actual quality bitrate past 1080p & if it offered .flac/lossless playback, baffling that YT Music still doesn't offer it.It doesn't even auto-skip pre-baked Advertisements like Sponsorblock, lol.
>>108719572SponsorBlock is a botnet, watch the ads, skip them, or watch something else.
>>108719593I don't use it as it's made by an Indian, just wanted to mention it's existance as it is a good feature if you watch bad YT content.
>>108718105you only need ublock. if the creator throws in a bunch of their own ads unsubscribe and stop watching.
>>108719521>2026>want to watch YouTube>must use some closed source shit constantly shilled by the faggot who made itGrim.
>>108718355How long have you been using this? I have attempted to make changes via ublock in the past, but they would become outdated and I wouldn't feel like maintaining it.
>>108720004NTA but I use the same filter to change the grid size, I've had it for ~4 months now and it still works.
>>108718105I block every algo crap and only watch what I search or have in playlist.
>>108718105The good times ended after the gamergate and all the culture war shit. We're now retardmaxxing and enshittificationmaxxing, son. Because fuck having good things, apparently.

>>108719521What is your reason for not releasing ikatube source?
>>108719614>just wanted to mention it's existance>it is existance (sic)Why are the people who are compelled to mention Indians in every breath always the dumbest motherfuckers on God's earth?
>>108718105i don't care, i don't watch jewtube sloppa. but afaik this is possible in windows>grab mpv release from github, drop in some folder>grab yt-dlp release, drop in mpv folder>make an easy to reach mpv shortcut>search "whatever site:https://youtube.com">get da links>drag the link to mpv shortcut>???>watch
>>108723011someone made a typo and bro is clinging for his dear life
This entire thread feels like a parallel bizarro reality where shit like Freetube doesn't exist. It's literally one (1) program that fixes everything. Wtf is wrong with you all
>>108723134Average /g/ Joe has no idea how to update their Ad-Block filters or how to add new ones, do you really think they will know how to navigate a 3rd party website?
>>108723170That's the bizarre part, like how are they knowledgeable enough to bother with all this mpv, yt-dlp, github, abc, 123 stuff, but can't run an .exe or download an appimage?
>>108723201i don't care enough to do that, dunno about opt >>108723019
