5 fricking ads for a single video.




Is there a comparable video search tool or ad blocker that works besides YouTube TV, it is not worth it.

IB4 "apparently it is.

I use Brave which has a built in ad blocker. I haven't see an ad on YouTube in so long I forgot they added those intrusive ads. Really any ad blocker should work.

I've noticed when watching the same video on my Roku, they're no ads or maybe one ad....as opposed to 10 ads on the same video if I watch it from my Android phone

I use an ad blocker on my browsers as well as a Pi-Hole home network ad blocker none of which helped.

So, I signed up for YouTube Premium once the Covid work from home / stay at home restrictions started. For me, having YouTube and YouTube Music ad free is worth $12 / month.

I've been using this app on my Fire TV for over a year and it works very well, never an ad. Says "it works for Fire TV, Firestick, Android devices, and more." Easy install, takes maybe 10 minutes.

Smart YouTube TV

Millions of YouTube users are getting tired of advertisements within the platform, especially around election time.

Although there are several YouTube Alternatives available, watching YouTube without ads is possible by installing an application called Smart YouTube TV.

The following tutorial will show you how to install Smart YouTube TV on the Amazon Firestick 4K.

These same steps also work for those using the Firestick Lite, 3rd Gen Fire TV Stick, Fire TVs, Fire TV Cube, and any Fire TV device.

Adblock for YouTube.

You can find this as an extension in the Google app store.

I use it with Brave. It works exactly as it is named.

We ponied up for premium because my wife is a teacher and she got tired of showing videos to her 5th grade students and it being adds for IUDs and tampons when she's trying to show a video on the scale of the universe.

At home, I watch more Youtube than I do any other streaming service, so it's worth it to me.

I forgot YouTube had ads since I’ve had premium for over a year. Although I mainly got premium so that I could do other things on my phone while listening to a YouTube video.

Here's another app that will give you YouTube ad-free on Firestick, Fire Cube, etc.

SmartTubeNext install vid

SmartTubeNext is becoming a popular ad-free YouTube application that works well on streaming devices.

This appears to be a clone of the well-known Smart YouTube TV app, which has now been showing ads according to our website visitors.

The majority of users on YouTube are getting tired of advertisements within the platform, and they are getting worse by the day.

There are a bunch of different versions on the Play Store. Logos are slightly different. It appears different outfits have modified Vanced? Which version is correct?

So you install Vanced Manager, then open it install MicroG then Vanced YouTube inside the manager app.

Open MicroG app, sign into your Google account and then that is it.
