By work computer, I mean one that you have very limited control over - can’t install anything, or add extensions, etc.

For example, there used to be a trick where you could run a Bing search of a YouTube URL and the results would include an embed of the video but with Bing’s own video player, and something about that made the ads not work. Which was great - ad free YouTube on a computer I can’t install ad blockers on!

That doesn’t seem to work anymore, but makes me wonder if there are things like that - just little roundabout tricks to make the experience less trash, on a rig where my options are limited to what’s already there.

Asking about any tricks, not just YouTube or ad related ones (but those too if you know any!).

Thanks all!

    You’ve probably tried this approach already, but just in case: “You don’t play videogames to make progress, and you don’t make progress by playing videogames. You play videogames to have fun and pass time, and those are driven by the experience brought on by the game’s content, not by the name of the game’s host. Also, fuck Blizzard.”
