Eventually I suspect Google will start to change that to where a) ads can't be skipped (which is already starting to happen for some unlucky users) and b) loaded in a way alongside the video content where the ads can't be blocked without breaking videos (and/or they're encrypted).Įventually the only 'solution' to not see YouTube ads, I'm afraid to say, is likely a YouTube Premium subscription which is probably Google's grand plan here. It's because the ads are loaded from a different place where the video content is loaded, and thus can be blocked. After the device reboot or Youtube restart. Adguard can remove all ads from the app, but only if Youtube is ‘cleared’. To do so, open Android settings, go to Application Manager, then tap on Youtube and on the 'Clear data button: This is our major problem. I'm in the same boat with my LG 4K smart TV too.ĪdGuard for Windows (and ABP) can still block ads in web browsers on Windows/Mac/Android, yes. The next step is to clear the Youtube app data. Well, the AdGuard DNS can only block domains, so as long as they're serving ads over the same domain(s) as the video content, then yes, we're doomed in that regard. In the meantime, is there anything we can do to eliminate the new servers that have been creeping through? If a "traffic report" is worthwhile to the community, I'm more than happy to contribute. I watch YouTube almost exclusively and choose to support channels through Patreon or Brave. Starting in late July, early August, it seems that Adsense/Google/YouTube have started using new servers for advertising that is applied to their "top tier" channels to the point where it becomes "ad enforcement".ĪdGuard has been an awesome service and based off the DNS service alone, I've got several people to purchase the AdBlock product and would like to contribute to the forum by letting everyone know when ads creep through the protection. Smart Televisions, Dish Network's YouTube app, etc.
#ADGUARD DNS YOUTUBE ADS INSTALL#
I'm wondering if this should be a sticky thread or not, but for several months the AdGuard DNS has been absolutely stellar at blocking ads on devices without the ability to install a proper ad-blocker.
