YouTube viewers will soon have to sit through even longer ads, with Google rolling out new 30-second unskippable spots on a popular app.
Oh no, the ads I block are getting even longer!?
I just purchased a new travel router that will have options for ad blocking built in. Would that block ads on any device sharing that connexion? TV, phone, PC, smart fridge,…?
Those will not block YT ads.
They’ll block ads at a DNS level, but YouTube ads are delivered directly into the video stream.
Those will not block YT ads.
This is correct
but YouTube ads are delivered directly into the video stream.
This is false
this is false
So far
And the reason is that those ad-blockers are based on DNS block lists, and YouTube ads are served by the same servers that also serve videos.
This is my understanding as well, yeah.
not unless you figured out how to adblock on youtube tv. this isn’t for desktop clients.
Who still watches YT without adblocker? It must be horrible.
People with android phones who use YouTube app.
Tubular is free and available on F-Droid.
reVanced is alive, well, good, and at this point necessary
No, Firefox with uBlock works fine!
Watching youtube in a mobile browser works, but is a completely separate form of torture
It’s not that bad if you add uBlock, Sponsorblock, DeArrow and NoYoutubeShorts.
:sweat:
Do Vanced et al even have Sponsorblock functionality?
Revanced does, that’s how I was introduced to it. And the UI is more polished than the Sponsorblock browser extension.
I buckled and just got YouTube Premium Family. Via India. For 4 bucks a month. For 6 people.
I needed a cheap music streaming service anyway.
what YouTube ads
