I mostly watch YT on my TV but through Smart Tube. Watch all my other stuff with Streamio.

Every now and then the YouTube app is mistakingly opened and my lounge room is invaded by a company trying to align with me to buy a thing. It's very cringe and intrusive. Back in the old days with commercial breaks on TV, you would just mute and go have a break. But this is different and I don't know how people do it. Blockers are a must for security and sanity.
