I don't have premium, and I don't see any ads either
Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I'm a pretty happy camper.
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
Doesn't work for YouTube
Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
