Ad blocker recommendations?

VPN

After using one for years it finally stopped working so I was wondering if anyone knows any that blocks YouTube ads on mobile?? Specifically iOS devices

If you’re talking about Luna - same for me. I used it for years, but it stopped working for YouTube about 3 weeks ago.

I now use Video Lite. It’s an app which is nearly the same as YouTube. It has a couple of skippable ads when the app first loads - but once you’re in, you can watch YouTube videos with zero ads. You need to stop the Luna VPN before you use this.

Another alternative is Brave Browser. Also zero ads YouTube - but because it’s a browser, the navigation on mobile devices is a bit messy.

Use Video lite with an adblocking dns service and you should be good to go

You can try Viddle. It has no ads at all. Viddle

I’ve made a post about an updated solution to solve this :smiley: https://www.reddit.com/r/YouShouldKnow/comments/1dkj5il/ysk_updated_method_to_bypass_youtubes_ad_blocker/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

On iOS there are apps or clients without disruptive ads. I personally use the BluePlayer app.

sideload uyouenhanced with altstore or something, i have no ads at all, and it has screen in screen play and downloads

edit: it also has something called sponsorblock which will block any sponsored segments

I’m an Android user, and I use Brave Browser to watch YouTube as it has its own adblocker works every time.

Yep, I made a plugin that does exactly that for desktop, iOS and Android.

Details and install instructions are here:

Sorry for the question. I struggle with computers…

Is there any ad blocker that is free? I don’t want to give anyone my ccard info. Everything I find cost money…

Thank you.

Viddle doesn’t offer background play video lite is a better choice

12

i use uYouPlusExtra but it’s been breaking lately, when i scroll down videos they just disappear it’s weird. i guess i’ll try uYouEnhanced it seems to be the newest version

13

you should try revanced. It is a tweaked version of the official app. It basically gives you all the benefits of being premium yt.

14

Sry for replying late but there are some you just have to look on google for free ad blockers. I just avoid any that requires me to give them my information and the free ones work just as well

15

Viddle does have background play. video lite has ads.

16

Go to the uyou settings, go to other settings and turn off “remove youtube ads”
Ads in the video will still be blocked and ads on the homescreen will appear but the bug will be gone

17

Cheers for the suggestion but I’m happy viewing YT via Brave Browser :slight_smile:
