Recommendation Adblocker for Youtube?

[glitch hiker]

I've been using Adblock on Opera, along with its own native blocking. Unfortunately it now doesn't seem to be doing the job. I am getting really fucked off with the constant adverts from currency traders. These people are scum and I don't want to hear their bullshit

Thanks

I use uBlock Origin on firefox. There is a version for Opera too.

Sorry it's not working for you. It works really well on firefox.

If ublock isn't working, it's worthwhile going in to the settings and turning on some/more/all of the additional blocklists; IIRC there's only a few enabled by default. As I don't do social media, media or sociability I generally leave them all enabled.

(But as mentioned previously I very rarely use youtube in the browser any more as it's just as invasive as any other google product)

It's not your fault (or is it!)

It was working until a week or so ago, I guess Youtube found a way through the software. No doubt they keep trying.

or perhaps it's just that Opera is shit

I have it switched off for YouTube because I've realised that with it switched on its fucks with the algorithm for new stuff. Keep getting recommended the same stuff over again.

Instead. The m button is mute. Works well.

Fuck the algorithm, I use YouTube to listen to music while working, and would rather not be distracted. I do still get new stuff recommended to me, so I'm not sure what the algo is supposed to be doing anyway.

I’d like to block YouTube ads on my TV. Not sure if that’s possible though.

Ahh, I have a sub to Spotify so don't have that issue.
I do like the algorithm, you can guide it and get new stuff I like.
