Comment on Linus Tech Tips uploaded a video showing how to block ads on Youtube. Which was removed by Youtube for community guidelines violations.

  Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I’m a pretty happy camper.

    Firefox, UBO, Privacy Badger, and YT Premium. Sorry if I disappoint, but that family account with YT music is a great solution. Not to say I wouldn’t reconsider when prices increase…

  Even on mobile? is there a solution that does not involve root access?

    ReVanced if you want the original Youtube app

    Otherwise there are dozens of apps which don’t show ads

    SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV

    A number of player apps. I use PipePipe (Newpipe fork).

      I use PipePipe too. Also has SponcerBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.

      Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.

    On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile

        Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
