As fill-in ads are a vector for computer viruses and other malware I for one will NOT be disabling my ad blocker unless YouTube is willing to provide a lifetime subscription to something like Life Lock and make me whole for anything lost to whatever malware arrives as a part of an ad.

Where else can I watch sci-show, Linus-tech-tips, and all the other channels I subscribe to?

There is an axis I had not considered - the relative “uptodateness” of the packages. Debian is + for stability but - for “newfeatureness”

I use https://ninite.com/ to download an installer/updater for the major packages I can get there - Firefox and Chrome are both available amongst others. But mostly I don’t use Windows.

Yay! Sucess! Will my phone remember this credential now or will I have to enter it next time I return?
