    My adblocker software now pops its own ads at me. Can anyone recommend one that doesn't, and will block youtube ad content in videos? I'm on Chrome, mostly.

    Maybe visit CodeProject? I just saw a discussion about exactly that topic :laugh:

      I can recommend uBlock Origin, but it will not work in future Chrome versions, due to upcoming restrictions. Alternatively you could switch to another Browser like Edge or Firefox. There is also a new lite version of uBlock with limited functionality, which is supposed to work in future Chrome versions. uBlock Origin definitely blocks youtube ads and never failed me.

      uBO is the one I use (in Firefox). Works perfectly.

          I don't think that will work for blocking youtube content, and frankly I don't want to have to maintain all the blacklisted hosts myself.

          Pi-Hole. The community maintains the blacklist, and - bonus - if you configure it as your primary DNS, *all* devices on your network will benefit from it.

            I just started using AdBlocker also and yes it does pop up ads now and then but it's better than the youtube 4 and 5 min ads on most every link.

              As a programmer, I'd be too embarassed asking how to bypass another (programmer's) pay wall. And not for any technical reason.

                Ad blockers are not for bypassing paywalls, but blocking advertisements.

                  A colleague blocks ads (by DNS filter I think) in his home router. Might wanna read up on that. That guy also has VPN on the router and he uses Wireguard to route all device traffic, including his phone on cellular networks, through the same VPN, and DNS filter.

                    I know you like getting paid for your work. I suspect google and youtube content producers also like that. So you could either just watch the ads or pay for the service. So, you know, they get paid. Or don't use the service.

                            It's not wordplay. They are literally two different things. Paywall: Content is blocked without a pay per view or paid subscription. You don't get to see any of it, or maybe just a small preview. Ads: Marketing content trying to get you to buy stuff. Ad-blocker: Does not do anything to subvert a paywall (see definition above), but blocks ads (see other definition above)

                              I don't have cable because I can't block advertisements on it. I don't have streaming services that have advertisements. I pay more where available to not have them. I literally would not use 90% of the internet without an ad blocker. I do not do any avoidable advertisements in my life as a matter of principle. So they aren't getting my impressions anyway. Think what you will about that. You do what you can live with. I'll do what I can live with.

                                You're using the wrong ad-blocker then. You can still block ads on youtube. I do it every day.

                                Hey, thanks. It's not doing it anymore. When I got the message I checked around and found that people were complaining that youtube was downloading unwanted code to run and detect adv blockers, so I just stopped viewing. Malwarebytes not only blocks ads and tracking but also traps redirects, unwanted downloads of code and links to sketchy sites. so I am not turning it off. Thanks again.

                                    I'm using Ad Block and Ad Block plus. One of them ends up blocking youtube. It also pops its own ads lately. So I'm looking to move. I'll try uBlock Origin next
