MODERATORS
I have made no changes to the default settings and it works fine for me.,
If anyone else has tweaks they use, please reply to @perishthethought.
Thanks - I just checked, I'm using FF on my desktop, and my android browser, both have uBlock enabled and I still see ads sometimes on youtube.com. I would be interested in changing hat for sure.
Do you have ublock or ublock origin?
ublock origin is what I use. I also made no changes to the defaults on pc and see no adds on youtube there as well.
uBlock Origin in both desktop and mobile.
Then not sure why you are seeing ads.
Are the in video sponsor pieces? As sponsor block is quite good at skipping them in most case.
YouTube is playing cat and mouse with the adblockers, so recently it is sometimes able to show you ads even if you have uBlock Origin enabled. Only reliable way to completely get rid of the ads is to go through a Piped or Invidious instance, or the NewPipe app on Android.
