I disable on YouTube, because the site is essentially unusable without it. YouTube ads are generally not horribly intrusive for the fairly small amount of time I spend using the site. There are a few other small sites I disable the ad blocker for, even if the ads are intrusive; the fact that the vast majority of sites I visit have their ads blocked make up for the few I allow in.
- panqueca 3y agoUblock origin works fine on Chrome and Firefox browsers. For Android you can install this extension on Firefox as well. Brave Browser already blocks youtube ads out of the box.
- SCUSKU 3y agoVery interesting. I am a pretty heavy YouTube user (and arguably should pay for YouTube Premium), but I have found that this Firefox extension always successfully blocks ads: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-for-youtube/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-for-y... If you're open to switching to Firefox, it might not be a bad option!
- key_peace_pulse 3y agoI've been recently happily using Chrome with the Clear Skies extension https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clear-skies/jkiagenaojjkaabmmapjoeolppddefgp https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/clear-skies/jkiagen... makes youtube usable. For every other website, use Firefox and the uBlock Origin addon.
- comprev 3y agoI can't remember the last time I saw an ad on YouTube. Firefox + uBlock Origin are a great combination.
