#DailyBloggingChallenge (358/365)
For a long time #BraveBrowser was the trick to mitigate #YouTube ads.
Seems like YouTube has finally caught on and now going back to #Invidious.

Most of the time, I try to watch videos on #Invidious with lower resolution to speed up loading time, especially since I watch by default at twice the playback rate.
Today I realized that some instances permit the downloading of content. And even if one has to download audio and video separate, one can easily merge them together temporarily in one's favorite #VideoEditor without the need to render the end product.

Alternatively one could also use #FFMPEG to combine the files together via the #Terminal like
`ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -i audio.wav -c:v copy -c:a aac output.mp4`

Further options exist like #YouTubeDL (1) or stream via #VLC.
Sometimes I wished that creators would mirror their channels on more permissive sites like #PeerTube or #Odysee that don't hard-lock into watching ads.
