How to use adblock on YouTube [Chrome] – Easy Steps

YouTube ads have become more common. Many years ago few videos had ads, but now you can see an ad at the beginning and end of a video. Sometimes if a video is ten minutes long, you will see an ad in the middle of the video, or you will see two at the beginning. The worst part is that you cannot skip all of them. YouTube has also started adding ads to videos, even if the original uploader hasn’t monetized them. It goes without saying that users are looking for ways to block these ads.

Adblock en YouTube [Chrome]

You can block ads on YouTube, even if you use Google’s own browser: Chrome. The trick is an extension. There are many ad blocker extensions, some work and some don’t.

Adblock para Youtube

Adblock for YouTube is one of the most popular extensions to block ads on YouTube. It has over 10,000,000 users, which is a great endorsement.

1. Install Adblock for Youtube from the Chrome Virtual Store.
2. The extension will ask for quite a few different permissions.
3. Play a video and it won’t show any ads.

Problems with YouTube ad blockers

YouTube ad blockers work fine for the most part. YouTube doesn’t actively try to block them, and Google doesn’t launch these types of extensions from the Chrome web store, either. You can count on one or more, or multiple types of these extensions to always be available in the Chrome web store.

That being said, streaming is sometimes interrupted due to these extensions. If you suddenly find that YouTube videos won’t play after installing an ad blocker, try the following.

• Uninstall other ad blockers that you have installed in Chrome. It is better to use only one.
• Check if your antivirus may be blocking the extension, and by doing so it may also be blocking YouTube. If you suspect that Windows Defender is the culprit, you can exclude the extension folder from being scanned. The extension folder is in the Chrome folder in the AppData folder. Use the extension ID to identify your folder. The ID can be copied from the Chrome extensions page.
• If the extension stops working randomly, you need to deactivate it and reactivate it.
• If the extension still doesn’t work, uninstall and reinstall it.

conclusion

YouTube ads have gotten out of hand. The website needs to make money and given the amount of video content that is uploaded to the site every day, it goes without saying that the cost of the website must be astronomical. YouTube’s subscription service hasn’t quite taken off, and it hasn’t been able to beat Twitch. Ads are, so far, the only way to go. That said, if you watch a particular content creator’s videos frequently, turn off ad blocking so that their videos support it.
