I have uBlock installed on all my browsers, but I don't have Waterfox. I may have to give that a try. I just installed an extension called Adblocker Ultimate. It's interesting because right after I installed it YT took down the video recommending it. LOL I also found a video explaining how to ensure uBlock is updated.
Bottom line, I'm getting sick of this. Youtube better knock this off or else I'm closing my YT accounts and staying away from it.

On our not-so-smart Tee Vee, whenever we bring up yoo toob, the ads are inserted in the videos and have become insufferable.If using Roku, install the Playlet App. It's YouTube with the ads stripped out.

I couldn't load Youtube this morning until I turned off my ad blocker.
After I accessed it, I turned the blocker back on.

It’s hard to multitask while reading. How am I going to keep up with my conspiracy theories if I can’t run the videos while doing yard work?

We used to have Roku. When we purchased our most recent TV, we were told that Roku was no longer necessary.

Using Freetube on Linux and Newpipe on Android I’ve yet to run into any interference from YouTube, but then I’m a light YT user so maybe they don’t bother with me anyway.

“And charge only US$5.99/month for this version.”
Overall, only a small percentage of users would pay that for content that has been free all this time. I wouldn’t. And they’d sneak in more and more ads over time.

I have Freetube on my machine. I’m still testing it out.

To: steve86
Agreed. I’ll do whatever I can on my end to avoid the ads and if YT makes it impossible to do that, then it’s bye bye YT.
