- culturestate 7y agoDo you mean display ads or pre-rolls? I don't get any display ads but I get pre-rolls constantly with uBO.
- lain_ 7y agoI'm using AdGuard and I don't get any ads ever on youtube. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adguard-adblocker/bgnkhhnnamicmpeenaelnjfhikgbkllg https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adguard-adblocker/...
- icebraining 7y agoI get neither with uBO. Seems that different people have different experiences, either due to outdated uBO filters or differences in YT behavior.
- InvaderFizz 7y agoI don't get any ads whatsoever on YouTube with uBO. What I do get is about a 20% chance of something screwing up in the ad blocking process for prerolls and getting the grey "there was an error" screen instead of a video. I just hit reload and the video starts playing. Slightly annoying, but I don't utilize auto play, so I don't have to worry about it stopping my playlist or passive watching.
- GrumpyNl 7y agoSame for me, when i use youtube on my mobile i am flabbergasted by the amount of ads and 20 minute promo programs. Why and how can you watch that without a add blocker?
- jwilliamson 7y agoJust FYI, uBO blocks YouTube ads if you are using Firebox on mobile.
- betamaxthetape 7y agoIf you're on Android, there's NewPipe, a fantastic YouTube client that brings all the benefits of YouTube Premium: no ads, downloads, listen with screen off, and picture in picture. NewPipe also supports other services such as SoundCloud, MediaCCC and PeerTube right out of the box. The killer feature for me is that you can make up playlists containing media from different sources (which I use for playlists containing music from both YouTube and SoundCloud). (I'm not involved in NewPipe, except being a very happy user).
