I'm using Firefox 52.9.0 - 32 bit (non ESR) and MyPal 29.1.1 with XP
Pro.
I use FFx to watch and download YouTube vids because using my version
of FFx does not show the ton of commercial ads which infests YouTube
when using MyPal or other newer browsers.
How in the heck does anyone with UpToDate browsers watch YouTube at
all with all those ads?
Does anyone know of an add-on for my version of MyPal which would
allow watching YouTube without ads? I'd like to use MyPal instead of
my old FFx because it's faster and and shows shaper vids
Also, does anyone know of a proggie similar to AdBlock Plus which
works with my version of MyPal?

There is a business model to this. If the adverts (irritants) are
bad enough, you will want to fork over cash for the ad-free version.

How does that yt-dlp.exe compare to the youtube-dl.exe most of us have been using to download (and convert, and rip) the Youtube video streams?

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2022.06.29 https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/download/2022.06.29/yt-dlp.exe
VERSUS
https://youtube-dl.org/
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/ https://ytdl-org.github.io/youtube-dl/ https://yt-dl.org/latest/youtube-dl.exe
By the way, there is some interesting DMCA information here. https://github.blog/2020-11-16-standing-up-for-developers-youtube-dl-is-back/
Does that mean only the OLDER youtube-dl.exe files are the last known good versions?
This is a lot like asking what happened to TrueCrypt. Only
the project developers know for sure and "they aint sayin".
We know there were rubber hoses behind the scenes.

I saw your other response in the windows 10 newsgroup and I checked and
what you said about youtube-dl.exe not being updated seems to be true.
Also yt-dlp.exe seems to be a combination of three different youtube-dl.exe efforts, so it probably (put that in quotes, as in "probably") is better. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp#readme
Digging a bit deeper it say yt-dlp "Merged with youtube-dl v2021.12.17+ commit/a03b977 and youtube-dlc v2020.11.11-3+ commit/f9401f2: You get all
the features and patches of youtube-dlc in addition to the latest youtube-dl", so it seems to be a combination of TWO youtube downloaders.
What I don't know is how much the DMCA notice affected the functionality. Does anyone know if they had to reduce functionality because of the DMCA?
And, if they did, why would youtube-dl.exe be affected but not yt-dlp.exe? https://github.blog/2020-11-16-standing-up-for-developers-youtube-dl-is-back/

It was a takedown request of some sort.
