I feel legitimately bad when I see friends and family obediently sitting through ads. I absolutely do install extensions and 3rd party clients to remove ads. I alslo help my parents and close family install ad-blockers. I just don’t want to be the guy who gets blamed when YT changes something and a 3rd party instance, client, or extension inevitability breaks. Just because I keep up on the latest blocking methods, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like an ad-free experience for all.

Win 11 license is tied to your motherboard. Switching anything besides that won’t change anything. Did you do a fresh install without Internet when you swapped your mobo? Besides that: you could go with Win 10 (preferably LTSC). Your only other option is to ditch Win for an OS that verifiably respects your privacy.

Thanks for the advice! I just added 2FA to my phone carrier account.
