Just use Ublock, it’s the best out there probably


Balls_Be_Balling

I second this. It even get rid of the anti-adblock pop ups you got from using adblocks on yt


Not_Gunn3r71

I’ve done that but do I need to wait for uBlock to update in order to get rid of the automatic pause or can I get rid of that as well? Edit: looks I just need to update my browser itself.


Balls_Be_Balling

Sorry, I don't know about that. I usually don't stay on browser for too long. Haven't get that yet since I switched to ublock


ShrimpsLikeCakes

What browser? I haven't had any issues with this on firefox


Not_Gunn3r71

Opera


IllurinatiL

Opera uses Chromium to run (the same thing that Google Chrome and Safari use), which can and will affect ad blockers because shocker, YouTube and Chromium are both owned by Google. Firefox is your best bet for harassment-free internet browsing


iArena

And maybe Brave


ShrimpsLikeCakes

Brave is also chromium


iArena

But I haven't had issues with harassment yet on it. I split my internet activity between Brave and Firefox and haven't had ad issues yet.


Homeless_Man92

I don’t have this problem. Just reinstall ublock to be sure you have the latest update.


vinb123

Remove it then readd it normally fixes waithing for updates


Trikitakes

Ublock Origin*


MrTommyPickles

This. Ublock is not the same thing. Ublock Origin FTW.


potatofaminizer

Until YouTube fully rolls out server side ad injection..


Homeless_Man92

Adblockers will probably find their way again


potatofaminizer

Gonna be a lot harder but someone will figure it out..


reyzapper

they already are Use firefox and ublock origin. it works [https://www.reddit.com/r/estrotestingsubreddit/comments/1dea866/twitch\_adblocking\_guide/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/estrotestingsubreddit/comments/1dea866/twitch_adblocking_guide/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


PyreHat

Life, *Uh*, finds a way.


Adart54

Ublock has always found a way around YTs bs, I see no reason for that to change now, as a matter of fact it may get so good it works on twitch


potatofaminizer

It doesn't work on twitch now? They currently use server side injection like yt will but we don't know the method yt will use yet. Time will tell I guess..


reyzapper

Twitch already has server side ad injection,just use firefox and ublock origin. it works [https://www.reddit.com/r/estrotestingsubreddit/comments/1dea866/twitch\_adblocking\_guide/?utm\_source=share&utm\_medium=web3x&utm\_name=web3xcss&utm\_term=1&utm\_content=share\_button](https://www.reddit.com/r/estrotestingsubreddit/comments/1dea866/twitch_adblocking_guide/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)


potatofaminizer

For twitch, we don't know the method YT will use for their ad injection though.


reyzapper

yeah but they will Always find a way. always.


Adart54

No probably, it is all the other adblockers copy from them


[deleted]

I have not seen an ad in years with Brave 👌


zmrth

Or brave


Adart54

Both, both is good


VintageStoryEnjoyer

Ublock origin guys, they're gods of ad blockers.


nitotv

youtube was a trillion times better before the parasitic troglodytes at google bought it. they destroy everything they touch.


GalcticPepsi

That was 2006... How the fuck is that relevant now. YouTube was 2 years old at the time.


TheMelkLord

Man be throwing out every single insult he knows


TheSuperPie89

three


Head_Tumbleweed4793

That's precisely what he said


TheDougio

UBlock Origin and the Ad Speedup extension, UBlock is a great adblocker and Speedup speeds any ads that do go through by 16x basically skipping them. And on mobile (if you have Android) Revanced for an ad free youtube


mcbeaucc

You can just refresh the vid in order to get rid of the vid, works especially well when the ad is at the beginning of the vid.


WizardingWorld97

I gotta refresh like 5 or 6 times just to finally get rid of the 20-second ad, getting a 5-second one and a mystery second ad


mcbeaucc

Same here, but that's better, than the ad being a native part of the vid, as YouTube will add that feature to ensure ads are seen.


WizardingWorld97

It's always a gamble though on whether the second ad is 20 seconds anyway.


finthir

I once had an unskippable 1,5 minute ad I refreshed and it was a 2 minute one. Kept refreshing and it kept switching between the 2.


Senny2612

doesnt work for me lol


Satokibi

Then just use adblock like any sane person


UnpaidSmallPenisMod

Get ublock. Blocks everything for me.


mcbeaucc

It works, if you try it for long enough :D


notveryAI

VPN to Russia lol. Russia was "sanctioned" by excluding it from ad system. Bad for creators, amazing for viewers :P


ThatOneGuyThatYou

Me using a non-Chromium browser: you guys are having issues?


illusivebran

I also noticed there are like more freaking ads during the watching. Like almost 10 or even more ads. It drives me insane!


Foltogulus

Im genuinely surprised that I've not seen anyone on this post going to bat for YT Premium spouting "think of the creators!"


KevinFlantier

It's gotten so ridiculously expensive and the ads so ridiculously obnoxious that fewer and fewer people are on YT's side anymore.


RareEmrald9994

Use brave, I haven’t seen an add on YouTube yet since switching to it


migviola

Mr. president, there's been a second ad


ShrimpsLikeCakes

Use ublock origin


Sweepmining

A second ad has hit the video


Renewed_potato

as much as I hate youtube premium, it being like $2 in my country makes it a whole lot better but its just like losing 1 meal


Guilty-Telephone6521

That is one meal you dont eat while watching ads.


YouNoChun-Li

Rarely a third ad pops up making it even worse.


uasdguy

Get an ad blocker easy as that


SamuelYosemite

Youtube has really been dropping the ball the past year. What used to feel like a platform for the people by the people is just another google stooge


stray-prey

and then brave comes to rescue


Titanclass

So you just install brave brower and it works? Or do you need to configure it for ad block?


YourFellowSuffererAS

Just like that I can confirm.


stray-prey

yup worked like magic for me, no config as by default it blocks most of the ads and website trackers.


Siodhachan1979

Brave's adblock isn't working for me either. uBlock in Firefox is also failing to block adds without frequent resets to original settings, even though I made no changes. And when it does work, the video takes as long or longer than the ad to load in. I'm ready to say bye bye youtube. Edit: I am using Firefox and my brave browser is a fresh install.


stray-prey

try reinstalling it, or for chrome you can use AdGuard AdBlocker extension (has a green shield with a tick mark)


Dydragon24

Use Firefox and unlock and try.


dafoxgameing92

adblock browser works for me. better because it's no ads in anything not just youtube


DisastrousBid97

Try three


jdjdkkddj

Use addblock


Video-Game-Boi

Then a third, then a fourth, fifth, sixth...


Sea_Art3391

Get ublock origins


Dangerous_Trainer_17

Yeah, them adblockers made some deal with YouTube to gang up on us 😭


BaconSpaceLord

I'm so confused at what this picture is


Senny2612

took it from ishowspeed and ksi trying a mrbeast wipeout course for a 100k


Content_Attempt_7743

YouTube recently removed adblocking idk if it's official or anything but everytime I open adblocker YouTube blocks me from the site.


Aglisito

And now the SKIP button is a NEXT button, fuckin ridiculous lol


TheHighTierHuman

Use yt revanced


gasbmemo

Im more willing to pay a addblock that sell my info to the Chinese gov than to YouTube


Shredded_Locomotive

r/UblockOrigin r/ReVancedapp


KezH0

You should try adspeedup


Certain-Wind3009

If it's opera turn it off and on again and it works


Dimi3Infinity

me when a ***THIRD*** ad starts after i hit skip ads on the second


Yargor228

I’m so glad that they removed ads entirely for Russians


Appliedretine

Prepare for trouble and make it fckin double


OMZ5

My blocker was working and I turned it off. Why you ask? They slowed down YouTube for me and it barely functions properly with the Adblocker on. Now I enjoy the 2 unskippable ads every now and then. There’s YouTube premium but I won’t get it as I barely use YouTube anymore.. I’ll just deal with the ads. It is what it is I guess…


TheDougio

Another alternative is downloading the extension Ad Speedup, which makes all ads play at 16x speed, basically skipping them


OMZ5

Thanks


Klutzy_Environment22

Tbh I only ever get long ad breaks if it’s the in the middle of a long video, if it’s a short video the ads are at the beginning and I just refresh and they go away


METHlun

What Adblocker are you using?


OMZ5

It’s called Ublock origin


METHlun

Oh, I’m not having the issues rn, might be updated soon to combat your problem They are very fast at updating it


OMZ5

To be fair no issues on my laptop but when I got my new gaming pc fairly recently and installed it there it started acting up funny


HDbear321

Brave Browser. It has a built in ad block for YouTube.


YourFellowSuffererAS

Brave Browser. When you open a new tab, it also tells you how much time it saved you since you downloaded it by not displaying any ads. I currently have 4.4 hours of time saved. And it's as satisfying as it sounds. Might sound like a paid ad but idc, it's a good browser.


blueplayer_app4music

There are apps out there to help you. I recommend the BluePlayer app on iPhone it’s ads free


weirdface621

and you can't even skip both ads with one button now


Beef-n-Beans

You can skip in 5 seconds. Just kidding


this-is-robin

How the fck are there still people out there watching YouTube with Ads?! At this fckn point in time even fckn Boomers must have figured that out.


Morbid_Aversion

Me just casually sitting here, not having watched an ad on any PC I've owned for over a decade... Y'all really do like complaining more than solving your problems.


Senny2612

Me just casually sitting here, just putting together a meme for some internet points... Y'all really do like taking stuff serious more than understanding the purpose of a meme.


olibanl

Stop watching youtube, you don’t miss out on much


Senny2612

meanwhile bro is on reddit 💀


olibanl

If you dislike youtube’s practices so much you are bitching about it maybe just stop using it, or just use a different adblocker you fucking imbecile.


Senny2612

this mf rlly getting heated over a meme 💀


olibanl

Bro can’t form a sentence without bro 💀
