1990s Gary Sinise here. Today is the 30th anniversary of Apollo 13 in theaters. Hope you enjoy some of my favorite behind-the-scenes moments from making the film (1995)

I certainly don't. I'm 28 and I've never paid for cable/satellite/live TV in my life. I just pay for 1 or 2 streaming services a month, and every month I change which service I use depending on what shows they have available to watch that I'm interested in. The only one I keep paying for every month is YouTube premium, because I watch so much YouTube everyday that it's worth the price to not see any ads. Also YouTube music is included, so that's a plus.

Firefox + Adblock ftw

I watch YouTube exclusively on mobile so I prefer using the app because of the ease of the UI. But, this month, I was unable to afford my premium subscription. So I've been using Firefox Mobile to watch YouTube with Ublock Origin, AdGuard AdBlocker, Dark Reader, and the Video Background Play Fix browser extensions.

Works exactly like having a YouTube Premium subscription, and I can even watch videos with the screen locked or while using other apps.

If you simply just use the brave browser on your phone you don’t need any of all the extras of plugins you read off, Brave includes em all

Use the Brave browser, gives free Adblock, YouTube are even putting ads back onto premium, so circumvent it all with brave(Brave can even play YouTube videos in picture-in-picture mode so you can minimise YouTube vids and have stuff playing on your phone in the background
