Well that's not what regular users want at all. We shouldn't have to keep fighting against this crap.
Completely agreed, but these companies are too big to care about what users actually want these days. Which is why I prefer to stick to open-source projects. In most cases someone else will be bothered/care about the same issues I do (worst case scenario, modifying it myself IS a possibility).

Default youtube experiance just sucks.

Can't use it without Ublock, Sponserblock, and clickbait remover to get rid of all the "pulling a stupid face with a red arrow" thumbnails. Even if you paid for premium, would still have to run sponserblock and clickbait remover.
Default Google sucks too. Ever try using their search engine without an adblocker? The first like page of results is fucking sponsered results. Bing is literally a better search engine than Google(and not just for porn), because Google ruined, well, Google so fucking much.

People treating Bing and other search engines like a disease lead to this.

No, Firefox is a much better choice. Or go with Iridium Browser or Waterfox.
Hi. Inspired by your post I decided to try a new browser.

I just tried Waterfox and I am thinking of moving into it. it seems fast and nice. With uBlock origins ads seem under control... Would you say there's any reason I should instead consider moving to Iridium or plain Firefox?

Freetube is a pretty cool client for Youtube. You can't log in, but you can follow/sub to people on it so they popup in your feed. I used it for awhile when youtube was blocking people with adblocks, but I've gotten past that and haven't used it in a bit
