I see so many posts complaining about ads but never enough posts about using an Ad Blocker. These take a minute to setup, cost nothing, and don’t require you to spend time maintaining them. Let’s make the internet/YouTube usable again!
Desktop Browser
- Safari: AdGuard (free tier is fine)
- Firefox: uBlock origin
- Chrome: uBlock origin
Mobile Browser
- Safari (iOS): AdGuard (free tier is fine)
- Firefox (Android): uBlock Origin.
- Open Firefox
- 3 dot menu in upper right corner
- Tap
Add-ons
- Tap the
+
icon next to “uBlock Origin” - Tap
Add
- Tap
Okay, Got it
To add to this, on Firefox mobile with uBlock origin you can also block cookie announces such as the popup cookie banners that block half the screen.
