If you want to watch #YouTube without the ads, try this.

@MrsDi why not just use invidious?
@barefootstache I’m in #edtech and teachers tend to stick with mainstream tools and resources that have the content they need and are in their comfort zone
@barefootstache we are a Google school, so Chrome is the browser. We can push out extensions, do you know of one?
@MrsDi there are two extensions I would recommend:
1. uBlock origin (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/ublock-origin/cjpalhdlnbpafiamejdnhcphjbkeiagm/related?hl=en-US) this will speed up most websites because it blocks mainly ads also including YouTube ads.
2. SponsorBlock for YouTube (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/sponsorblock-for-youtube/mnjggcdmjocbbbhaepdhchncahnbgone?hl=en-US) this will skip most sponsors. If you find one not being skipped, you can help by recording the sponsor, so that the next person can skip it. (Of course I understand this won't able to be done during class, though maybe can be done prior to class.)
@barefootstache
Awesome, I’ll explore them next week, thanks!
Have a great weekend.
@MrsDi if they are already using a browser why not install an extension that blocks the ads plus the sponsorship segments? It would be a one time setup and no need to add that extra `-` every time.
If they are already using the brave browser, there is no need for this trick. Since brave block youtube ads by default.
