Very Simple YouTube Ad Blocking Method: Also Works on Mobile!

An incredibly simple way to block YouTube ads was found. The hint shared on Reddit does not require any software, plugin (extension) or even memorizing a long string of code. The new YouTube ads blocking method works on both desktop and mobile. If you're looking for a way to block YouTube ads on mobile, try this.

Blocking All YouTube Ads!

There are certain plug-ins and apps to block ads that appear at the beginning and middle of YouTube videos, but they don't work on mobile. YouTube Premium is also quite expensive. As such, there are different ways to block YouTube ads . A hint shared on Reddit earlier this week is preventing ads from interfering in YouTube videos. All you have to do is add a dot in the URL after ".com". To add. For example; Writing “ youtube.com./watch?v= instead of“ youtube.com/watch?v= ” .

Although this minor change to the URL disrupts the page structure, it removes all ads . How Does? The process causes no host name matches. This causes the page content to still load but various other items, such as the ads in question, will not load. It can be used to break not only YouTube ads but also things like cookies and even the paywalls of news sites.

Also Works on Mobile!

The trick works on mobile devices as well as on the desktop, but it is necessary to switch to the desktop view of the page on mobile. While Google still did not close the gap at the time of writing this news, it can be corrected.
