So YouTube works in Russia, but is completely without ads?

Also, is it Windows-only? (I've been casually looking for a simple proxy that would enable injection of local links into remote content.)
Privacy might be what you're after. Open source and cross platform.
Auto-correct issue?

>_exactly_ like malware But it's googlevideo.com. I know this is Google/YouTube's domain so the rest doesn't matter.
But it's googlevideo.com, how could it be a video of some shyster pimping get-rich-quick investment schemes that are convincing enough to appear totally legit to anyone below the half-way point of the bell curve? But it's a google ad, how could it link to a scam that looks exactly like my bank's website?
We're talking about why this URL does not look like malware. The content of the video itself is irrelevant.

(With thanks to your grandchild) https://github.com/barre/privaxy seems definitely worth a look - thanks!

#245I just subscribe to YouTube premium to support my favorite application out there. I learn so much from the people who spend hours and hours making videos every month that I am more than happy to pay a measly $13 or whatever it is every month to YouTube.
I'll pay Google when they start weeding out the utter garbage that is uploaded targeting kids. Things like frozen characters getting tired up and thrown in water, or their clay stomachs getting cut open. YouTube happily suggests these abusive videos when you are watching kids shows, and Google does stuff all about them

> Adblocking Google is morally right. All ads should be blocked. I do not consume ads, and am not interested in paying a ransom to hide them.
If you don't consume ads, please do not use any ad-supported service, that's the easiest thing to do.
lol no

Presumably this involves installing new CA certs on your devices, no?
Yes, and this also answers the other comment about what else I MITM for: blocking devices that I can't inspect the traffic of is another reason, since the proxy is the only way out of the network.
Pardon the lay question, but is it really the only way out of the network? Can't programs initiate connections while skipping the system-wide configured proxy?

Asking you to pay for service costs and content is not rent seeking. That's not what that phrase means.
No but you have to agree on the enshitification part. Youtube turned to one of the worst UX apps I have on my phone, I hate paying them for such a shitty product and I'm waiting for the time they're off this planet
But meanwhile you keep using that shitty awful app, aren't you?

Cooool. Any blog post or something about your network setup?

I would not mind paying for "ad free Youtube" if it was like 5 - 10 bucks. I don't need or want Youtube Music. There was a YouTube Premium Lite at some point for some countries. Plus paying for youtube premium does not remove the sponsor ads inside videos. Also I feel like the algorithm has gotten worse and worse? I personally don't like to support that.
I pay for Youtube Premium, but still I have to run Sponsorblock to block the in-video embedded sponsorships and one uBlock origin scripts to remove Shorts from my Subscription.
