How to watch YouTube without ads?
- - Configure an Android device (as iOS restricts custom browser extensions for ad filtering)
- Install Firefox for Android
- Install the AdBlocker for YouTube extension
- Add the uBlock Origin extension
- Route YouTube video links through Firefox to bypass ad units.
Unlike iOS devices, which limit custom extension environments in third-party mobile browsers, Android allows users to run extensions such as content blockers within Firefox.
Secondly, install the Firefox browser from Google Play first and then install AdBlocker for YouTube and to complement the whole setup add the uBlock Origin as well.
Firefox will stream YouTube content without interruptions as long as the browser is active. Setting Firefox as the default browser and using the system "share to Firefox" feature allows users to easily redirect video paths when encountering ad rolls.
Let me take your through how to install these, starting with the Firefox browser:
- - Open Google Play Store.
- Search for Firefox in the search window and then download and install it.
- - Install uBlock Origin, which is an extension for Firefox. Do this by opening the browser, hitting the menu button and choosing the 'Add-ons' tab. Then tap on 'Browse Firefox's Recommended Extensions'.
You'll see a list of recommended extensions for this browser. If you can`t find uBlock Origin immediately on a list, please use a search window on top.
- - Tap on 'uBlock Origin'.
- - Then tap on 'Add to Firefox' and 'Add' to finish installing 'uBlock Origin.
- - Now you're ready to install the second extension, which is AdBlocker for YouTube, so click the menu button on the top left (see step 2 above) and find 'AdBlocker for YouTube'.
- Tap on 'Add to Firefox', just like you did when installing the uBlock extension. This completes the process.
When you've completed the steps above, you'll be able to browse the internet without ad interruptions.
