Its honestly the best way to watch on the livingroom tv. Besides the ads or cost of premium.

The more they tighten the screws the more they extract. It just can't go wrong.

Man, while Revanced works well on Android, on PC it's a whole different thing...
The buffering before each video has become insufferable to the point where I actually start watching the same videos on my phone.
I'm using Edge with Ublocker btw

Brave browser on PC and Android is undefeated thus far.

But you still have this buffering for a few seconds.

I haven't noticed. I'll watch YouTube on my work laptop, and it seems like they boot up at the same pace. Except work lappy has ads.

With Brave and Ublock Origin (not lite) it works perfectly. No buffering.

Does ublock provide benefits over standard brave blocker? I always thought that there could be some incompatibilities.
They basically force users to buy it with shitty experience. The part i "love" the most is that after commercials, player disables subtitles 50% of the time - this shit drives me crazy on tv.

Brave uses some of the lists that Ublock Origin has by default. And you can add more lists to either.
For example has all the blocking lists, most edited for all ad blockers.
FilterLists | Subscriptions for uBlock Origin, Adblock Plus, AdGuard, ...
FilterLists is the independent, comprehensive directory of filter and host lists for advertisements, trackers, malware, and annoyances. By Collin M. Barrett.
Ublock Origin has advantage for advanced users. It can block 3rd party scripts and frame, globally or by site.
Blocking mode
uBlock Origin - An efficient blocker for Chromium and Firefox. Fast and lean. - gorhill/uBlock
github.com
It has a great element blocker, that can be use to block annoying things that are not in the lists you use.
It can also be used to alter or edit code on sites, for example, I use it to improve youtube, such as increasing the number of thumbnails per row:
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-row, #contents.ytd-rich-grid-row:style(display:contents !important
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer, html:style(--ytd-rich-grid-items-per-row: 6 !important
youtube.com##ytd-rich-grid-renderer, html:style(--ytd-rich-grid-posts-per-row: 6 !important

This is just more confirmation that tech corpos are turning the internet into legacy media-only now with less regulation and a stronger parasocial element! Fun...
(BTW revanced has adblockers, obviously, but also the keyword filters are useful for hiding doomer/video essay slop. If you're tired of the current state of youtube i cannot recommend it enough.)

Sometimes it is there, but usually it just loads normally.
