I’ve been using AdGuard for years, and I don’t ever have any problems with YouTube ads.
And it’s free
Are you able to block YT ads on Safari + AdGuard? That’s the combo I have, and it did work for a while, but nowadays, all YT videos stop at the 1 min mark. Seems like YT is beginning to block people who use ad blockers.
@Hamartiogonic @EleventhHour I know this sounds oldfashioned but I pay for YouTube premium. Not cheap, comes with four additional members. The YouTube Music categorisation is 100 times better than the Apple Music categorisation and indeed: no adds.
I’m not by principle against ad blockers but the money has to come from somewhere.
Yeah, that’s an entirely valid option. However, 15 €/month is a bit difficult to justify, given the quality I would get in return. The family plan might make more sense though.
@Hamartiogonic without family members I wouldn’t do it, indeed. Side note; it’s very difficult to get it working properly on the computers of the family members.
