Do you like Youtube music/video being interrupted by annoying ads?
Well there is a simple solution (.) period, posted just a few days ago,
no special software etc
You can block YouTube ads by adding one symbol to the URL.
All you need to do is add a period after the “.com” of a video URL.
youtube.com./watch?v=
This quick change to the URL “breaks” the page in certain ways, which has a side effect of removing most (or even all) advertisements. That even includes the video ads that interrupt your viewing. The trick works on the desktop as well as mobile (although for mobile you need to pull the desktop version of the page).
Essentially, the period causes there to be no hostname match. This results in the content of the page still loading but various other connected aspects to that page — such as ads — failing to load. It doesn’t just block YouTube ads, but also things like cookies
