I use it. I don't get marketing because I use brave, which has a fucking indestructible adblocker. Like while everyone was panicking from the YouTube issues, I've never seen a single message to turn it off on YouTube.

Firefox with ublock origin and you will unironically have an near identical experience
ublock origin works fine for me on firefox. i use freetube (desktop client), but when i use the youtube website i don't have ad issues.
