Until recently, i didn’t mind the ads. Mostly, it was only 1 or 2 ads with the option to skip the ad. Now they're taking the piss with up to 6 ads per block without the option to skip until the final ad.

[LiterallyPluto]

2 ads every 6 minutes for me lately. Ruining YouTube and I've found myself just closing it altogether and doing something else.

Refuse to buy premium, thats what they're betting on. Making ads so unbearable you give your own money to stop it. No shame.

Here before youtube takes down the video like they did with Linus tech tips. 😂

Works for me, thanks! I used your first suggestion...open a video, when ad starts playing, copy and paste the video's full url in top address bar into a second tab, voila, no ads, and no ads for any other video either (in the second tab).

I am sick of these ads! Now they're as long as 3 to 4 minutes. This is ridiculous. So annoying that I'll just skip out on the video!

[newlam]

These steps is inconvenient as waiting for the ads to end!

How could one "illegally" block ads? I've never heard about any law that makes blocking ads illegal. It might violate an EULA, but those are no laws, and most EULAs violate the law itself.

This is the only free method that actually works. Normally I don't mind adds, I watch Netflix with adds but Youtube is ridicules. You can't watch more than a few minutes of any video without getting hit with several adds.

Miss 2006 youtube when wasn t full of ads

What I do:
I use firefox browser on PC.
I installed "Custom Video Speed for Youtube" Extension for Firefox.
I set the 3 hotkeys for slow default and fast to the Z X C keys.
I cut out 3 fuzzy dots from a roll of velcro and pasted them on Z X C.

I click on a video with my fingers on the Z X C keys. An add starts. I push down on index finger on C key and ad plays at 8 times fast speed. The add ends. I push the middle key X with middle finger and the video plays default speed.
When another add appears in the middle of the video, I repeat the above. And enjoy the fast machine gun moving lips of the advertiser selling his deodorant for 4 seconds instead of 30 seconds.

I use Brave browser.. No ads straight away

[Sva]

[abc_cba]

YouTube will patch this bug, immediately

[wetspaghettinoodle]

[davidnewhart]

Bing is starting to embarass Google now.

THANK YOU for this video. I've been bombarded by an AVALANCHE of political ads lately, most of which can NOT be skipped and are super repetitive and 95% of the ads I was getting were all political (all of them from all sides being highly negative and blaming the other candidate for something. Can't tell you what any of them plan on doing in office if they get elected because it's just endless accusations against someone else). I don't mind NORMAL ads. I like gaming ads, I like food ads, I like movie ads, etc, but NOT non-stop political ads, all of which are horrible and most of which can't even be skipped. And I REFUSE to get YT Premium for several reasons, NOT happening.

[FeelingENTITLED]

I'm using a Desktop PC with Adblock, Adblock Plus, and Ghostery extensions to block ads when watching YouTube contents, including Kevin's 😅

This takes longer than the 5 second skip window.

Love the Wrap up, with kevin walking in, lol

[not_sure_about_that_but]

Ohh the youtube gods won't like this one💀
