I have this setup for like a year now, and I didn’t really encounter any problems as far as I know. (or did I?) However, I just thought I would ask about it because I’ve been experiencing YouTube slowdowns recently via the mobile website (like video plays and video stops, and like my data won’t exceed 500k/s usage most of the time), even though I never experience any of this in YouTube Revanced Extended.

I just enabled every filter that looked good in the Brave settings and added every starred/recommended list in yokkofing’s filter list. (I used this list because it was heavily recommended)

I also have the Brave configurations set up with the PrivacyGuides’s recommended configuration, and I’m also using Mullvad’s DNS server (the base version; see all versions) both in my browser and in my Android device via the Private DNS feature.

So, is it overkill/redundant? If yes, what should I remove?

    It seems alright. Your performance problems might be intentional from YouTube because it detects adblocking idk.

      Yeah it could be it, but it only happens in my browser (also just seems to be the mobile version of YT, because I rarely experience the problem on my laptop, even though my browser’s set up the exact same as my mobile), because it doesn’t happen in YouTube Revanced Extended at all (although you have to enable this Spoof streaming data option because videos won’t play after a minute no matter what). I wonder why I have no problems with the app, a modded one even at that.
