Guess who keeps getting an ASMR ad that triggers my sensory issues that I can't block because YouTube requires my credit card details to prove I'm over 18 and requires my phone number to report it?

  • ytfzf

    A posix script to find and watch youtube videos from the terminal. (Without API)

  • And even cleaner, simpler solution is using ytfzf with MPV. I love using this method because I don't even need to load the website. No distracting thumbnails of other video's, no toxic comment section and no ads of course. I can just fetch a list with search results directly into my terminal or in Rofi (a menu I've installed). It even has support for thumbnails on Linux and you can add a list with "subscriptions", allowing you to only get a list with recent video's from those channels. Ytfzf is supported for Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS. You might be able to get it to working on Windows with MPV of you use WSL, but I haven't tried so who knows.

  • mpv

    🎥 Command line video player

  • I send my video links, including YouTube, to MPV. MPV has native support for those links and will open them up in their highest quality directly from the source, without any ads. It also gives you some extra control over stuff like brightness, contrast, zoom-pan and more. You can simply drag an URL into tho program if you want to keep it simple.

  • Pi-hole

    A black hole for Internet advertisements

  • Try ublock origin or Pi-hole

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
