YouTube vs. Ad-block | The battle for FREE online video

1. I use Duck Duck Go Browser. Works for me. I even use DDG to search on Google. It gives a breakdown of trackers.

   Was really eye-opening to see how many trackers are on Google, Amazon, even CNN. It's quite ridiculous, and I'm surprised more restraints/controls haven't been put in place. 😮

2. I don't mind an ad before and after the subject I'm trying to watch. It annoys me when there's multiple ads during the video. I'd only be happy to watch an ad during a video is if it was from the person I was watching like a sponsor they were pitching as it's just in flow with the video but I can't stand the creator being interrupted for a random bs ad

3. Revanced 😂

4. I'll be honest, I don't care if Youtube devolves back into users doing videos for fun again, and the site just as an ad banner at all times nobody is bothered by. I don't mind if commercial channels, yes, the majority of channels perhaps, just fades away. It'll re-emerge naturally. Eb and re-emerge. Rinse repeat. It's like stepping into the shower and feeling fresh again. New small youtubers are born and actually watched…. they grow … etc.

5. I want Youtube to undid their mess
   Membership may damage every video that under that
   because

   if people not paying for their plans
   I don`t think they want to pay at all

   because Linus doing it the same price as their own tier

   making me pay £26 a mouth to access all videos which was the point of the platform

6. Brave browser Brave browser Brave browser!

7. Smartfon -yt revanced
   Android tv -smartube

8. forget adblock. forget chrome. forget opera firex and edge. find a browser that is none of the previous mentioned.

9. they can only block extensions but the can't block blockers that are not extensions.

10. Just upgrade to premium. Stop paying them only girls

11. surprised you guys didnt name adguard that blocks ads even on mobile apps.

12. I am making it a point to NOT buy any products or services advertised on these obnoxious YouTube commercials.

13. You mad saying ads are a little out of control, holy shit they totally out of control and its gone beyond abussive! And criminal!

14. I pay for premium even when I download revanced on and off.

15. Oh, let's not forget the security risks of ADS! Half of them are plain simply scams, end in malware infection or pishing attacks. The other half is promoting overpriced and often dangerous garbage.

16. Opera browser blocks ads.

17. I am using vanced YouTube 😂

18. Even this has a ton of ads which is why I didn't watch it😮

19. Never ever will I pay for this shit.
    YouTube ReVanced is a way better app in way more ways than blocking ads.

    I barely use my PC for Youtube, but my Adblocker worked fine recently.

20. I could lose YouTube, social media, or whatever that proves they don't want me as a customer. I follow, use, and all the rest, but advertisers download crap (and I mean in a derogative since). I remember before adblockers, I had to restore my computer at least monthly. Now, I rather leave the service(s) that will force this bunk on my computer I own.

21. brave's in app adblocker is one of the best

22. ANOTHER thing that P!SSES me off too is the 'Cookies Consent' on web pages… IT'S A MESS! There's no STANDARD to them, JUST GIVE ME – 'I Consent' / 'I DO NOT CONSENT' buttons!!! FAR TOO MANY TIMES I've searched for something, clicked a news article or gone to a web page and had MANY DIFFERENT 'FORMS' presented to me to scroll through to 'Untick' various 'Vendors'/'partners' or cookie features/options etc… THERE SHOULD BE A WORLDWIDE STANDARD!!! Like, the FIRST THING YOU SEE IS – 'Agree' (Accept), 'Disagree' (Reject) and a 'Customise'… There are STILL TOO MANY sites that you can't INSTANTLY 'Reject All', but are forced to click a 'Customize' or scroll for ages to 'Untick' this setting and that setting and the other friggin setting etc… 😠😠😠😠
