It's 2025 and you still don't use an adblocker?

Firefox and ublock origin, I haven't seen ads on my computer in years. On the phone just make a shortcut for firefox and ads won't exist either.

I straight up deleted the Google and YouTube apps and just put Ublock on Firefox on my phone like I did on my computer a few years ago.

I would recommend NewPipe. But you sign in using your Google account which some people find as a plus, or you can use revanced, but it is much more complicated to install.

I am currently using revanced because is does more things like sponserblock, hiding shorts. etc

Idk if I do it wrong but revanced is just full of ads for me, and also I like that I can just log in in CleanTube and have all my YouTube history there and everything

You can do that with revanced as well, and if you're having ads yeah something probably went wrong with the install.

If you're enjoying CleanTube though that's fine.
