Now that YouTube is blocking adblockers I have a great tool for you to avoid this: The Privacy redirect extension for your browser

With this all links to YT gets redirected to Invidious, an alternative frontend for YT videos. You get to see the same video, just without dealing with Google directly. So they can't track what you watch, and they can't stop you from watching it. And you don't have to do anything, just install this and you're good to go

@Rush Cool, thanks! In many ways that looks even better, but unfortunately it doesn't support embedded YT videos, which Privacy redirect does. So maybe I'll keep uding PR for YT videos but also have libredirect installed for use with other services.

@forteller the fact that there's embed settings made me believe it did, but a PR for that is probably possible ;)
