Vietnam is passing a new law, going into effect on February 15, that will ban unskippable ads as well as delays before closing banner ads.

    Install another browser like Librewolf (ublock included) or Brave. That’s it, say good-bye to the ads, and not only in Youtube. In Android use Youtube Revanced. In Android TV (Nvidia shield, google TV, etc) use SmartTube.

    And don’t use the “ads-company” browser in the future if you don’t like ads.

      or Brave

      Uuhhh, yeah, no. Don’t do this. Librewolf – or really any Firefox browser, even with how Mozilla is right now – is going to be a lot better choice than the homophobia-and-crypto Chromium browser.

      Unfortunately Firefox is also an ads company now, but still gecko-based browsers are the only good choice rn

        I don’t like the direction they’re heading, but Firefox still works just fine with UBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, etc.
