I just added ad blocking to Twitter and the experience is much improved.

I use Yt-dlp to download videos. Also recommended for those who can live without a GUI although someone has probably made a GUI. I also recommend Smarttubenext. As far as I know it doesn't work on PC's. Maybe that has or will change. I actually use the beta version since the whole adblocker thing blew up.

I use SmartTube on my Amazon 4K stick. Works like a charm. Should work on other Android sticks as long as installing APK packages is allowed.

I have a browser plugin to block all the social networks. Those like buttons for facebook on every website? Gone.
Third party tracking? Gone.
