YouTube ads can be annoying, especially during long videos. While YouTube Premium removes ads, not everyone wants to pay for it. Luckily, there are safe and free ways to block YouTube ads without Premium using browser tools and third-party apps.
🛠️ 1. Use Ad-Blocker Browser Extensions
The most effective way to block YouTube ads is with a browser extension. These tools automatically filter out ads before they load.
- uBlock Origin: Lightweight and powerful, works on Chrome, Firefox, Edge
- AdGuard: Blocks ads on YouTube and other sites without slowing your browser
- Total Adblock: Easy interface with strong YouTube ad-blocking features
How to use: Install from your browser's extension store, then refresh YouTube.
📱 2. Use a YouTube Vanced Alternative (Android)
Although YouTube Vanced is discontinued, similar free apps still allow ad-free viewing.
- ReVanced: A Vanced alternative with no ads and background play
- NewPipe: Lightweight YouTube client with ad-block and no login needed
Note: These apps are not available on Play Store. Download only from trusted sources.
💻 3. Use Brave or Opera Browser
Brave and Opera come with built-in ad blockers that remove YouTube ads automatically.
- No need to install extra extensions
- Fast performance with privacy features
- Available on Android, Windows, macOS
🧠 4. Modify the YouTube URL (Quick Trick)
Sometimes, adding a period (.) after ".com" can bypass ads temporarily:
https://www.youtube.com./watch?v=xyz
This doesn’t always work, but it's a quick and easy try without tools.
⚠️ Important Note
YouTube has started detecting ad blockers and may limit features. If you notice issues, switch between different blockers or try YouTube alternatives like Invidious or Piped.
Tip: Avoid shady APKs or unsafe extensions. Use open-source or verified apps for best results.
