Software: Stremio+Plugins

Need: Watching movies online

Honorable mentions: vidsrc.me+adblockers, various torrent sites, Netflix, Amazon Prime, online websites.

Why its superior: It allows for watching movies from any platform, its integration with plugins (particularly the Juan Carlos 2, Torrent.io and ThePirateBay ones) is superb, and its tagging system is convenient.

Software: Yt-dlp

Need: Downloading videos from youtube

Other programs I've tried: Online webpages made for that purpose, torrents, ytdl.

Why its superior: It's actively mantained and it has integration with SponsorBlock.

An example command might be `yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 --yes-playlist --sponsorblock-remove all`

No, but I await the day when they produce something which does. Otherwise, Britain is doomed.
