Well I’m glad I switched to Linux, its only going to get worse.

Currently the set up that makes youtube somewhat tolerable for me is, Ublock Origin (obviously), sponsor block, Return youtube dislike, Youtube-shorts block , and UnHook. Another option would be to use invidous, Freetube, or NewPipe, but all of them are not perfect and have their own limitations.
The closest you could get is the fair phone, its not perfect but once its available where I am I’m thinking on getting it.
From what I can tell with Ublock is that they are actively working to bypass it and any new form of blocking that they implement.
Chromite is quite good its the successor of bromite and has increased adblock functionality I’ve used it for a little bit and it is quite nice.
Yeah I was able to get the books from my local library so I was really lucky but yeah for the most part the prices are ridiculous.
