How to easily change the look of YouTube, Facebook, etc.

 What if you could give these familiar websites a new look? It's easier than you think!

How to change YouTube interface

YouTube is a treasure trove of content, but its interface can feel overwhelming with ads and recommendations. It's tempting to just use a YouTube alternative, but that means you'll miss out on all the exclusive videos on YouTube.

A better compromise is to use Piped, a decent alternative to YouTube that eliminates ads and makes your viewing experience more enjoyable. The great thing about Piped is that it focuses on delivering content without distractions. Plus, it doesn't track your viewing habits, giving you a more private browsing experience.

How to use Piped

Now you can enjoy your content without ads or distractions.

How to change Facebook interface

Next, let's get to Facebook. If you want a cleaner, more focused Facebook experience, you should try Slimsocial for Android.

Slimsocial is a compressed version of the desktop version of Facebook that works as a mobile app. It's considerably lighter (less than 10MB compared to the official app's 76MB on Android and 355MB on iOS). While Slimsocial still features ads, it makes up for that by letting you customize your Facebook feed by arranging posts in chronological order.
