Adblock doesn't work at all tbh.

[Devsman]

For a standard YouTube video, only about five to ten seconds of the ads are blocked. The other two minutes of "paid promotion" (this is literally a synonym for ad) get off scot-free, along with the twenty seconds of begging you to donate on patreon (also a type of ad).

And it would be nice if they could also block the like comment subscribe crap.

[Moogal™]

I believe there are working ones for YT (but bannable).

[LQIM]

Use sponsorblock

[Slim]

What browser? I'm still stuck on Chrome with Adblock and all I'll ever see is a brief blackscreen, sometimes a blip of the ad itself, at the beginning of a video. Other than that I've never seen an ad pop up during a video since I've have been using it.

i watched ads to support content creators, i suggest u guys do the same

[N3tRunn3r]

Mozilla Firefox[www.mozilla.org] + uBlock Origin[addons.mozilla.org]

or at best:

Firefox Developer Edition[www.mozilla.org] + uBlock Origin[addons.mozilla.org]

Mozilla and their products do use a very different engine than all these Google-infested browsers, forced-ads crap and stealing and gathering your privacy data!

You can even use Firefox and its Developer Edition + uBlock Origin by Raymond Hill on your Smartphone devices... for ever ads-free !!

No need to use any bloated, influenced and forced "Apps".. a reason why you should also leave Apple BS ..



Google Chrome[en.wikipedia.org] and Opera[en.wikipedia.org], so other browsers from this "family" for example Edge[en.wikipedia.org] do use the "Blink"-Engine, which forces ads on your machines and devices and steal your informations..

The iOS editions of mentioned browsers as well as Safari[en.wikipedia.org] do use the "WebKit"-Engine which does the same, stealing info and forcing ads and apps.. especially their "Apps"..

Steam uses the CEF[en.wikipedia.org] (Chromium Embedded Framework), it is never "safe" to use Steam's integrated "Browser" .. you are completely out of control there ..

Firefox[en.wikipedia.org] uses the "Quantum"-Engine, made for privacy and security .. a reason why the "TOR"-Browser is built as a Firefox-Fork..

I have used Mozilla Firefox for minimum 2 decades, only Firefox, and switched over to Firefox Developer Edition a couple of years ago, for even more performance, speed and possibilities.. for privacy & security and other features and editings..

"Firefox + uBlock Origin" is a must-have on your PCs, Laptops and Smartphones .. !!

!! NOTHING ELSE !!

[videomike_Ultimate_Plushie]

I mean, it works for me, brave and ublock both. Of course I also dont go to youtube or twitch anymore because of the ads

[Vox]

I'd rather use Internet Explorer 6 than Brave.

[N3tRunn3r]

LOL, Brave also uses the leaking "Blink/WebKit"-Engine, as you would run Java or Flash with limitless backdoors and hidden root kits...

Brave + uBlock Origin is a sacrilege!!

[Triple G]

Using firefox, added ublock origin, tested random Youtube video = 2 ads.
Using firefox, added sponsorblock to it, tested random Youtube video = 2 ads.

Yes - works really nice...

Tried clicking random times later in the videos = 2 ads.

Top notch. Like no difference to not using both extensions.

At very first, DO NOT login to YouTube !! STAY LOGGED-OUT !! Even with Firefox . . .
If you log-in there, YouTube can force ads on you . . . then, clear and delete ALL COOKIES ... do NOT use chronic . . . let Firefox auto-delete these upon closing Firefox . . .

Cookies are your "Achilles' heel" . . . !!!

So, you need to clean up your whole system, at best with a complete fresh and clean install of your OS.. simply by installing Firefox and its plugin doesnt fix your issue ,as your whole system is already infested by crap.. or simply by beginning to delete all cookies and caches..

And youtube, meta, alphabet, always try to force ads on you and even on Mozilla Products.. it has been a war between them and Mozilla for years.. and especially lately.. as many many online platforms switch their strategies to force ads on people..

Meta and Alphabet ever been at war with Mozilla . . . as mentioned up . . .
Blink and WebKit Engines are ROOTKITS, Mozilla prevents this at all costs ... !!

[KalGimpa]

firefox

ublock origin

noscript

What? I use Firefox since i set up the system, and i run something to delete my cache, history, and whatnot every day. I don´t see what re-installing windows should change what i couldn´t change manually afterwards anyways. And if it would mean to invest like several hours to setup the system, i don´t know what benefit the ad-blocker had, which perhaps saves me like 15 seconds each time. The annoying part is that the ads interrupt the videos. But what i do is simply not watching the videos further if they have too many ad breaks, which also gets rid of the ads. And short music videos usually don´t have a break.

Recently it got a bit annoying, as some videos have like 2 ads in a row - like every 2 minutes, one of which is unskippable. And it´s always the same ads. So if i watch longer videos i watch German broadcast stuff uploaded to Youtube, which have no ads at all - and skip the whole rest. For game content it usually depends a bit. Some content creators have more breaks, some less - at least it seems like that, and then i wouldn´t watch content of these which have more breaks.

I just said it doesn´t work. And as the one above said noscript - i use this always since i set up the system as well...

Firefox, AdBolck, Ghostery: (I do not log-in to YouTube)

Delete your YouTube cookie whenever you have an Ad appear, this will fix it for awhile. When another video that causes an ad to appear, repeat. This has been an easy solution for me. I may delete 1 or 2 cookies by the end of the day.

Have you tried libre wolf + ublock origin or invidious or a Pi-Hole either with a Raspberry Pi / Docker?

[Pieshaman]

if it is a promotion within the video itself, than it is part of the video and not an add like seperate overlaying. then ofcourse addblock not block that cause it would need to cut the video itself, which it doesn't do, cause it an addblocker, not a video editor.
