I use Youtube Premium, plus an ad blocker, plus an extension that removes shorts, plus an extension that skips sponsored segments.

Soon, I'm going to need an extension that removes the AI stuff I don't want and didn't ask for.

Using youtube in 2025 is exhausting.

Does the ad blocker do anything on Youtube since you have premium? It'll of course do things on other sites, but I'm wondering if it has any impact on Youtube.

Yes. It removes ad elements that Google / Youtube don't consider to be ads, like channel stores and that sort of stuff.

Ad block: https://ublockorigin.com/

Skipping sponsored sections: https://sponsor.ajay.app/

Remove shorts: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-youtub...

Return dislike: https://www.returnyoutubedislike.com/

Forgot to mention returning the dislike in my original comment.

At least I can use these extensions and get something resembling the service I want to pay for.
