YouBoob offers nothing you can’t live without. If the ads bother you that much, break your addiction to YouBoob.
Duck Duck Go browser has a special player for YT that bypasses the ads. You can copy and paste there anytime YT white screens you.
It’s a continual game of whack-a-mole between ad-blocker updates and yootoob algorithms for users of Firefox etc, and as mentioned upthread, Brave is an excellent browser for privacy and built-in ad blocking.
Brave browser plus Proton VPN. I have no problems, no ads. The occasional “prove you’re human” (to a bot LOL) while the VPN is running if I click an outside link to get to a Youtube video, but never an issue if I am on the Youtube site watching videos.
YouTube is totally worth it.

YouTube Premium, that is

“Ads are their revenue. Basically you want to steal their product.”
Cry me a river.
Once they got into the censorship business it was my pleasure to rip them off any which way I can.
I use Firefox on my Mac. With Adblock plus I see no adds.
“YouTube is totally worth it.”
Definitely! It has a wide and deep variety of content. Free with ads or pay to go ad-free. Ah ... 1st world problems.
I use Brave with their native ad blockers. Works fine.
4k video downloader works great!
I use Brave and most videos now have a black screen for 15 or so seconds until I can skip the ad. Once I start a video, there’s no ads. It’s weird.
I have that and I use it often. I just hate to have to resort to that every time I want to watch a video, and I have at least 4 different adblockers on my computer!
Yep.
I don’t pay ransom subscriptions on principle.
Pay money to Gaagle? That'll happen as soon as I learn to juggle flaming chainsaws while ice skating.
Try this.
I used on my machine, and it worked. You get about 1 second of each ad and they’re gone. I guess that makes YT think the ad played for you (which it did, just not the whole thing!).
My feeling as well. If there were a good way to flip them the giant double middle finger as I did it, I would do that too.
I despise Google and YouTube. I wish them total and utter bankruptcy.
