I've been using youtube on Firefox with ublock since the premium price raise. Even on android.
The experience is not great, but that makes sure I don't have ads at all.
Also discovered unhooked addon yesterday. Is desktop only, but great for going into less youtube rabbit holes that waste my time.
If they're going to find it on lemmy they're going to find it anywhere. Also, they already know about ublock origin, and its unlikely they'd even care about unhooked, since it doesn't block ads.
