I usually watch YouTube on a laptop hooked up to my tv, so I downloaded freetube and just imported my subscriptions. It’s got sponsorblock and other features built in, but you can’t like or comment on videos. Overall though I’ve been using it for about 6 months now and wouldn’t dream of going back to YouTube and trying to constantly deal with them fucking it up more daily.

thanks for the recommendation, ive been playing around few of the option but this seems like the one that will work best for me. it was easy to set up on both my desktop and phone and seems to have all the functionality i need

Showed up for me on google.ca lol. Glad I switched to duck duck go a whole a go.
