Firefox, uBlock Origin, on a Linux Desktop. I have none of these problems and have filters to hide shorts, endcards, autoplay, ambient mode. And I block all cookies from Youtube/Google.
Works perfectly.

I'm working towards a Linux distro instead of windows. Until I get there it's Firefox, unblock on a desktop with mullvad VPN. Set the vpn location to Albania for no ads.

Kubuntu is very friendly, it's my daily. Try Mint if you want easier.

Add on the PokeTube skin from userstyles.org and you can pretend you live in a world that's free and balanced where children can kick the asses of wannabe capitalistic overlords instead of the corporate hellscape we currently find ourselves in.

just an fyi it's userstyles.world now. The .org is dead.

This is the way. And I might add, Unix desktop. Let's not start bikeshedding between FOSS Unix distributions out of dogmatic reasons (I'm sure you didn't mean to specifically single out "Linux" here, but I wish we would stop opposing "Linux" and other Unixes like BSD, Illumos, etc).

The point is, voting with your data for software that is defending your interests, and respecting your rights.

Edit: Dang, I didn't expect to get so much slack for "Unix as opposed to Unix-Like". I absolutely meant "Unix-Like", but my point is that it shouldn't matter. Most software is trying to be compatible, these days, and Linux isn't (in spite of all that marketing material) an OS. It is a kernel. So semantics for semantics, can it even be compared to something it is not? I merely tried to be inclusive.

This is a weird response to me.

Sure man, rock on. ✊

Eh.. OP seems to be talking about their own setup. They probably "singled out" Linux because it's what they use.

I oppose none of those things, but Linux isn't Unix.

(Usually the Unix folks are the ones at pains to point that out.)

It’s not so much opposition rather than other BSDs having almost negligible desktop presence… If we really want to get into semantics, too, Linux is technically not UNIX.
