Since my off-topic remark seems to have spawned so much traffic, I will mention that I hae been using Noscript, Adblock latitude and uBlock Origin in my default browser for many years, and do not normally see any advertisements. The youtube video stuff embedded in/preprended to the video stream seemed to be something different. Perhaps I could have found a way to block that. But, as I think I conveyed, I didn't want to view these videos in a browser anyway: just keep downloading and viewing as and when I chose with a highly flexible player like mpv or mplayer or whatever. Just as I was used to with youtube-dl. But Nikolaus has solved that by pointing to yt-dl which I ought to have found myself. Not that I want to inhibit the extended conversation about blocking more generally. Thanks to everyone. ael _______________________________________________ Dng mailing list [email protected] https://mailinglists.dyne.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/dng
