I hate how no ads is not an option. It's either abusive ads, or personalized abusive ads. And of course, your data is up for grabs

Your data isn't yours to keep. It's already gone, for sale to the highest bidder for pennies, several times a day.

But it IS yours to spoil. Become unhinged.

Homepage of which looks like ad.

Been running AdGuard for years once mobile DNS profiles became available. Hardly see any ads, and (on the rare occasion) when I do, they’re jarring and out of place.

You're not wrong. Opened it in a mobile browser and it looks messy - but it is a solid product.

I pay for premium. I think it’s fairly priced because I get music too. $14/mo.

It's annoyingly fairly priced. I'm fairly sure they're doing this at a loss to put competitors in the music streaming services out of business so they can hack up the price.

Standard Google/TV streaming service practice.

Lower the cost to ten usd and ditch Youtube music, that would be ok for me

I wish there was an option without YT Music. I already use Spotify and don't plan on changing that, so the Music part of my YTP subscription is an unused redundancy, which is really unfortunate.
