Is there a blocker I can use on the android YouTube app? I put videos when I'm doing dishes, and in the last year the ads have gotten so long that if you don't skip em or can't (cause you're hands are wet) they go on for 10 minutes or more. The worst are the ads that end, but don't leave your screen until you physically press skip.

YouTube revanced gives me ad blocking with sponsor block included

[-] veloxization@yiffit.net 8 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

NewPipe app is a good one, or Tubular if you want sponsor block too (though you can't comment or like videos etc. on either). But if you want to use the actual YT app, the solutions in the other comments are good. ~~I assume that setting up a Pihole or some other ad-blocking DNS could also work.~~ I assumed wrong. See reply.

[-] Bahnd@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Pi-hole does not block content that is hosted on the same source as the ads. Youtube, hulu and friends host their own ad services (dont quote me on exactly which streaming platforms this does and does not work on, uBlock should also be part of this suite of ad-blocking) so it wont spare you from those. However people using ad services like google adsense on their website will have content blocked as DNS will resolve to the place your trying to go and the webpage asyn-loading its ads will not.

Thanks for confirming! I haven't used the actual YT app in such a long time, so I haven't been able to confirm whether my DNS solution works.

Brave or Vanced or Firefox with uBlock origin

[-] dovahking@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Vanced is dead. Use revanced or revancify(requires terminal).

The only reason Brave needs crypto at all is so the CEO can keep donating money against gay marriage without getting caught.

[-] OsrsNeedsF2P@lemmy.ml 1 points 7 months ago

I don't think the Brave CEO cares about getting caught

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 months ago

He cared when he was ousted from Mozilla for it.

If you have a rooted phone and Magisk there is a module that essentially turns the stock YouTube app into the Premium version without adds and background play enabled.

[-] Blyfh@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Wow really? What's it called?

[-] TonyOstrich@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Small correction it's technically an LSposed/Exposed module, but everything I said previously still applies.

Check out “ReVanced” YouTube.

It takes set up and maintenance but it is well worth the effort as you get all YouTube premium features, latest YouTube app updates, and other enhancements.

Direct link to GitHub- https://github.com/ReVanced

EDIT:

Removed the incorrect “.net” Link as mentioned below.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

This is not their official website. Never download revanced from anywhere other than their GitHub repository or https://revanced.app

[-] rasakaf679@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Yea dude so many people go to that .net site i don't know whether it's legit. But i search GitHub and open the link provided in the side bar

[-] tacofox@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Thank you! I quickly (and carelessly) searched and pasted the link. Thank you for the correction.
