This was annoying me in browsers so i did a bit of reading and found out that not only can I remove their ad block blocker in browser, but my TVs also support ad free YouTube. Thanks Google! Couldn't have done it without you.

Can you point me to ad free tv please

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 28 points 1 year ago (2 children)

SmartTube (formerly SmartTubeNext).

Any idea is there anything similar available on LG webOS?

[–] redcalcium@lemmy.institute 5 points 1 year ago

Maybe YouTube WebOS ? It has adblock and sponsorblock supports as well. It can be installed from webos homebrew channel. Check https://www.webosbrew.org/ to get started.

Get any stick that runs android tv or fire TV and install ~~freetubenext~~ smarttubenext. Ads gone.

I guess you're thinking of SmartTube, formerly known as SmartTubeNext?

[–] penquin@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

Yup. Let me correct that. Freetube is a PC app that I have installed on my Linux machine. Lol Thank you for the correction :)
