  • I wouldn’t say it’s borderline unusable tbh…

    The first adware result is blocked with any ad blocker, the fact you see it means you might not have your ad blocker on, or disabled in incognito mode.

    The second and third copilot bullshit sections can be toggled off from any search result page, on the sidebar settings there’s a toggle.

    I do appreciate the bing rewards thing, basically every few weeks I get a gift card because you earn points by using bing

    google has been blocking any IP that uses lots of youtube bandwidth, and that means any public instance needs to do IP rotation.

    I also heard they began blocking all IPs belonging to some cloud providers.

    I run my own invidious instance from my home servr. Only I use it, so it’ll never be blocked, but I don’t have the same anonymity as if using a public instance…

    It’s mostly for the benefits of using youtube ad-free without a google account, while having local bookmarks, watch-later, and subscription feed. If that’s your main goal Invidious is really easy to set-up.
