I have Premium. I don’t see any ads.
I don't have premium, and I don't see any ads either
Me neither. I have the combination of Firefox+uBlock origin+privacy Badger and I'm a pretty happy camper.
Firefox, UBO, Privacy Badger,,,,,,, and YT Premium. Sorry if I disappoint, but that family account with YT music is a great solution. Not to say I wouldn't reconsider when prices increase...
Even on mobile? is there a solution that does not involve root access?
A number of player apps. I use PipePipe (Newpipe fork).
I use PipePipe too. Also has SponserBlock inbuilt. Make sure you enable it though.
Alternatively, Firefox and uBlock Origin works.
ReVanced if you want the original Youtube app
Otherwise there are dozens of apps which don't show ads, just look arround F-Droid
SmartTubeNext for AndroidTV
On mobile I can avoid ads by using a VPN to my home network which then has pihole. Usually I just don’t watch any videos on mobile
Doesn't work for YouTube
Maybe they changed something, it used to work for me before I stopped watching YouTube on mobile completely
I had toast for breakfast.
