Youtube is driving me loco with the ads

[Jayinem]

I don't mind if you show me a forced ad in the beginning of the video that's fine, but this interrupting the video MULTIPLE TIMES in a single video to show ads is BULLSHIT. I keep trying ad blocks but eventually they disable them.

Then get a proper adblocker like Ublock Origin....

 

[Jayinem]

Done, but will they disable it like they have about 6 others I've tried? They call them malware and won't let me use them.

 

[linuxares]

Well it seems Ublock Origin won over Youtube since they no longer update the detection script

 

[AncientBoi]

And here I thought you always were "Loco"

Anyways, I don't know what I've done, and I do have an adblocker, And I have had no problems

I do though, get them on my phone watching YT.

I haven't seen an ad on youtube in many years. I have firefox and ublock origin. I don't do anything special.

if anyone wants more options across different devices:
Android - newpipe, revanced (I think you need to be rooted) I've been corrected by four people...
windows/Linux - freetube is stand-alone
ios - brave browser
android Tv (ie nvidia shield) - smarttube next

 

[Jayinem]

Sounds like ublock origin works, I just hope Youtube doesn't get smart to that then we're screwed.

thanks

Revanced people be like "what?"

I use the Brave browser. It has a built-in ad blocker, and I have never seen a YouTube ad with it.

That is strange, because I also use Brave browser and Youtube made me disable their ad blocker, and then every ad blocker I try ends up disabled by Brave browser for being malware.

revanced (I think you need to be rooted)

Nope revanced works perfectly on my non rooted phone

 

[KingVamp]

Honestly, if they at least did ads in a way that doesn't interrupt the video, more people would probably be willing to not use ad block.

 

[Statesman]

Firefox (or Librewolf/r3dfox/Pale Moon/Seamonkey/Icecat)+Ublock Origin, Brave (if you want to stay within Chromium clones) or Newpipe/Revanced (Android). Pick your poison, I barely use youtube anyway outside looking up a tutorial or someone linking it up as reference for news/interviews/old media/trailers.

 

[Jayro]

I (ironically) used uBlock Origin to block the pop-up modal, and never had an issue since.

 

[AdenTheThird]

I mostly watch YouTube on my Android, which has YouTube Revanced, which is excellent. If you have an Android.

Default youtube experiance just sucks.

Can't use it without Ublock, Sponserblock, and clickbait remover to get rid of all the "pulling a stupid face with a red arrow" thumbnails. Even if you paid for premium, would still have to run sponserblock and clickbait remover.

Honestly. Vanilla YouTube at this point is a corporate machine. Every popular creator MUST have clickbait thumbnails, sponsors, ads, no cursing, no violence, can't say "suicide", can't say "kill", can't do this, can't do that, do all this right and get money. Over and over and over again. It's a perpetual checklist of approval. Step out of line, all money goes out the window.

I'll add Playlet for Roku to the list.

I hate that the uploaders can't just check boxes for categories like "has cursing", "has violent topics", etc and just let the viewers filter out what they want to see on the platform.
