Just Made A Smart YouTube Move

[ResidentEvil7Participant 9547]

I just made a smart move with YouTube. You know those really annoying commercials they force you to watch at the start of every video and then they make you click on a box ad? Well, I just installed Adblocker, and in a few minutes of installation, I no longer see those commercials anymore. Finally, I can go on YouTube and other sites without dealing with any annoyances.

By the way, if anyone wants to rid themselves of those pain in the ass commercial ads like I just did, go here –> https://adblockplus.org/ and install it. It’s only 1MB, it’s FREE, it’s a plug-in, and don’t worry, the file is safe according to Norton.

I could get over just how awful YouTube was with those ads; man, that was irritating and they force you in every video to watch or click on them as if you have to.

^this. It makes youtube almost worthwhile.

I’ve been blocking ads so long I forgot youtube even had them.

Thanks RE7! I have just installed the plug-in and am looking forward to something I did not know existed.

Adblock SUCKS because it lets “unintrusive” ads through. F~~~ that s~~~. I want to block ALL ads! That’s why I use uBlock Origin. It’s a free plugin for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox. And absolutely ZERO ads ever get through. It also uses less memory than Adblock which makes pages load faster.

“No script” plugin for firerox also does the trick, it requires some manual setups though to define which scripts are allowed on pages you visit but at least you then know what is going on.

The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny

If you feel like doing some black magic, you can block the ad hosts directly from the OS. This sped up browsing on my crappy laptop a lot.

Get this:

Follow these instructions:

And poof! Serenity.

If you run your own cacheing nameserver you can set it up to return a dummy result for every adserver dns lookup. Basically the same thing as the custom hosts file, but you only have to do it once instead of once on every machine you own. It blocks ads for any tablets or phones on your local networks as well.

Don’t forget to block google analytics while you’re at it. Because f~~~ them and the data mining horse they rode in on.

Well so far it’s worked for me.

I hated having those ads shoved in my face so bad, I had to do something about and did and it’s refreshing.
