Invidious instances have three good advantages here:
- region unblocking. The internet treats censorship as damage and routes around it.
- Adblock built in
- Not logged in, if you like the antipersonalisation.
Secondary benefit, it’s easier to download a vid than core youtube.
Back to core Youtube, I enjoy the SponsorBlock addon on top of ublock. I might turn it off for some more news because they turn theirs into an actual skit.
