Ask HN: Ad free YT with old devices?

1 pointSteBu3 comments

Hello HN People, over the last months/weeks I/we saw many posts about the new YT Policy regarding ad blockers. Here my question ... I'm on YT with my logged in account. I'm on MacOS Big Sur with all updates and Safari with uBlock (no special config). I have only adds on 1 Channel. All other videos are ad free (no Premium Account or anything else). I'm the only one? Maybe my old MacBook Air gives me ad free stuff

I've been using Ublock Origin for weeks without one ad one every video I watch. Not sure if I'm a special case or stock Ublock Origin is just doing a fantastic job.

You must be in the control group of the A/B testing. For people who aren't, even uBO isn't good enough anymore.

I just let them play since they're usually a couple seconds long and help support content I enjoy.
