I don't have premium, and I don't see any ads either

[–] elucubra@sopuli.xyz 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I'm a pretty happy camper.

[–] nadram@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Firefox, UBO, Privacy Badger,,,,,,, and YT Premium. Sorry if I disappoint, but that family account with YT music is a great solution. Not to say I wouldn't reconsider when prices increase...

Even on mobile? is there a solution that does not involve root access?

ReVanced if you want the original Youtube app

Otherwise there are dozens of apps which don't show ads, just look arround F-Droid

SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV

A number of player apps. I use PipePipe (Newpipe fork).

I use PipePipe too. Also has SponserBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.

Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.

On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile

Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
