@protonprivacy

With NewPipe Android app, or an invidious instance using uBlock origin web browser extension you can do so from every country without VPN.

@beaufils Yes, we listed both of them as well as a few others in our list of YouTube alternatives: https://protonvpn.com/blog/youtube-alternatives

I slightly disagree with some part of https://protonvpn.com/blog/youtube-alternatives#NewPipe when you state that "Exposes your IP address to Google" because it is only tru by default that is not true for all android.

For instance with @e_mydata you can make the system protect your IP adress without VPN.

@protonprivacy So...is the add free experience in EVERY country you can vpn from or?

protonprivacy, 26 days ago

@rticks No, just the ones where YouTube ads are not available: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/160382?hl=en-GB

With uBlock Origin, everybody can already have youtube without ads.
But it's still a great news, thx.

Is it working on Android youtube app too ?
--> otherwise, newpipe is still an excellent app for that.

@Seb13 It should work on Android too.

@Seb13 @protonprivacy this is great news for iOS users which is not compatible / unavailable with uBlock Origin

@funkybuddha @Seb13 @protonprivacy For iOS I use 1Blocker and visit YouTube in Safari. It works to block ads.

@jnv @protonprivacy @Seb13 correct, and also let’s add to this Invidious, I really like this as an alternative
