Watch Youtube without ads, that too on mobile.
Nowadays watching videos on YouTube has become a part of our daily life. But, whenever we are watching a video, the ads that come suddenly can be quite annoying. YouTube Premium plan allows you to watch videos without ads, but if you are not planning to buy it, you can still avoid these ads by adopting some measures. In this blog, we will tell you some easy ways by which you can avoid YouTube ads on your mobile.
1. Use ad-blocker apps
The easiest way is to use an ad-blocker app. These apps block ads that appear in your YouTube videos. However, keep in mind that using some ad-blocker apps may be against YouTube’s terms of service, so use them wisely. Some popular ad-blocker apps include AdGuard and Blokada.
2. Use YouTube Vanced or NewPipe apps
YouTube Vanced is an alternative YouTube app that lets you watch YouTube videos without ads. This app is a modified version of the original YouTube app with several additional features such as background playback and picture-in-picture mode.
NewPipe is also an open-source YouTube client that allows you to watch videos without ads. Also, this app gives you the option to download videos without using data.
3. Use the website
If you don’t want to install apps, you can use the website in a browser to watch YouTube videos. Some ad-blocker extensions also work in mobile browsers, such as the Brave browser, which offers ad-blocking. You can open YouTube in this browser and enjoy the video without ads.
4. Use a VPN
Some VPN services also offer ad blocking. Using a VPN, you can change your location and avoid ads. Although this method does not always work, it can prove useful at times.
5. Download the video and watch it offline
You can download your favorite videos using YouTube’s offline viewing feature. Once the video is downloaded, you can watch it without any ads. Although not all videos are available for download, it can be a good option.
