hope this helps

As a macbook user I use friendly streaming, and it helps with taking away ads on youtube just fine in my opinion.

Youtube blocks Sblock

I used the Sblock expansion for over a year since the last time Youtube blocked adblocks. Now it has been disable in the manner that if you turn Sblock on, the video won't load, citing internet error.

When I disable Sblock, it works fine (of course with ads now). I just downloaded "Adblock for Youtube" extension and it works fine (Minus a 1 second displaying the network error but after that it loads fine).

Is Albania no longer providing the amazing ad-free experience on YouTube?

It was so nice, I’d always used VPN on Albania, and my YouTube experience was amazing. But in the last two days, the ads came back. Is it just me, or are you having the same issue?

Tried a "clean" browser today without uBlock. I don't know how people live like this.

First , thanks to everyone here who recommended the Firefox + uBlock Origin combo. It's been a lifesaver.

I had to use a fresh browser today for some testing and visited a few news sites and a cooking blog. It was a total nightmare. Between the giant "cookie consents," newsletter popups, and auto-playing videos, I could barely even find the actual article.

The modern web feels literally unusable without filtering. It's like a high-stakes game of Minesweeper just trying to find the tiny 'X' to close the junk.

Does anyone else feel like browsing without an adblocker in 2026 is just self-torture at this point?

Obu + improve tube -> still getting ads mostly in long format videos and from national advertisers

I’m using Firefox +obu and improve tube. But especially in videos 1h+ I still get ads but mostly German ads, they’re definitely less than regular. But I still fucking hate them
Does anybody have a fix?

Best set up for protecting kid from seeing innappropriate ads, especially when playing games on smartphone?

I went ahead and purchased YouTube premium, but that doesn't help me with the ads my child sees during playing mobile games.

My main focus is my kid, but if I can stop ads on my partner and I's phones, laptops, or for streaming services on RokuTvs, that would be cool as well.

For our kid I need to make sure the wifi is covered as well as when only cell service is used.

On a side note. I am also looking into purchasing the Bark app in addition to all this stuff, for what it is worth.

If you guys could explain terminology that would be great. Idk what a lot words in subs related to adblocking even mean...

But any help is appreciated!! Im so lost
