How to avoid ads in YouTube on Fire TV Stick?

[–] t_berium@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Smarttube Next. Easy to install, too.

After writing that I comment, I looked and downloaded SmartTube. Is Next one better than that?

There are two version. One is beta and the other is stable. I have both for no particular reason, just wanted to have them. Beta may get some new features before the stable one, but they both do the same.

Install "downloader" from the Amazon app store, then use it to Google and download the smarttubenext APK. Downloader is a web browser the fire TV stick that has a cursor. Fire TV stick runs on Android, so side loading is good on it. Make sure to enable install from "unknown sources" in the settings of the stick.

Thanks a lot. It's pretty nice. Had to enable developer options first.

No problem, I hope you enjoy it. Also, I apologize for forgetting to tell you about the developer options.
