    Well, i wont watch ads. If it comes to it i’d rather have a program thats recording videos in real time so i can skip the ad segments later in my recording like in the good old vhs times.

      This should only become a necessary solution if YouTube invents a way to inject ads directly into the video stream of the video you’re watching, like old school broadcasting.

        That is sort of what sponsored segments are, and what sponsorblock is quite effective at dealing with.

        If they’re injected on the fly at variable time points, it gets harder, but I suspect fingerprinting could work well enough.

          Even better, yeah. So this solution shouldn’t feel necessary unless as a last ditch effort, definitely.

      uBlock Origin and revanced are still effective at blocking. Sponsorskip (available as a Firefox plugin or built into revanced) even skip sponsored segments inside videos!

          Revanced might be dead?

          Revanced is not dead. Revanced Extended(RvX) was discontinued and rebooted with the new name Morphe. Both are two different projects and both are alive.

      That was what my grandpa also did many years ago, he was living in the future! Or we’re going backward.
