discussion Youtube ad blocker

[colin m]

Hello everyone,
Does anyone use a good ad blocker for youtube ? I don't mind the odd advert (I know they are necessary) but right in the middle of a song, is a bit anoying.

Assuming you are using pc/laptop, I use Ublock on my laptop, using win11.

Try a browser called Brave, I use it on my Android tablet to block Youtube ads

Or DuckDuckGo

I didn't know YT ad blocker was a thing anymore?

I bought the ad free subscription for 12:99/month

I use Brave for YouTube on PC, blocks all ads.

Me too Miko, I might have a look at this and reconsider my subscription

Thing is, I use YouTube as a TV app, not sure how an ad blocker might work on there

I use Firefox and Ublock Origin, i never get an add.

Not sure you can, I think they've got you by the short ones on a TV? Most decent and reputable privacy browsers will allow you to go ad free on YT etc on a device other than a smart TV.

Thank you all for your further replies.

When I tried to read this post yesterday it wouldn't diplay the content but showed an error message that said using an ad blocker might be one of the reasons it couldn't show the post. So my ad blocker was stopping me from reading about ad blockers? Sounds fair!
