- withinboredom 5y agoI’ve been bored and started using my phone a few times. As soon as an ad starts. I stop the app, start it again. Or just watch it in the thumbnail with cc.
- freeflight 5y agoI like watching YouTube stuff on my iPad to fall asleep, but at times the ads can make that real difficult, and I have yet to find a way to block them on the tablet. PiHole allegedly helps with that, but afaik PiHole is only a DNS blacklister, and I already have blocked Google adservers troguh my router, tho that does not seem to help with ads in the YouTube mobile/tablet app.
- aceki 5y agoI know AdGuard[0] claims to have the ability of blocking YouTube ads in Safari, but I also believe it's behind an IAP. Alternatively, an Invidious instance[1] will play videos without ads. It doesn't work for music videos (thanks DRM!), and I believe you have to set the video quality to DASH in Invidious's settings for Safari to be able to play it. Not as convenient as YouTube, sure, but if you hate ads enough I think it's worth it.

- perryizgr8 5y agoYoutube vanced works well for blocking ads. But you need an android device.
- ComradePhil 5y agoYouTube premium is $12 per month. If there is one subscription worth getting, it is definitely this.
- christophilus 5y agoBrave on iOS blocks YT ads.
- waffle_maniac 5y agoI think Brave blocks YT ads on all platforms?
