Can you watch YouTube if you use an ad blocker?

The pop-up mentions that those that are using an ad blocker will not be allowed to watch videos on the platform unless they enable ads on YouTube or subscribe to YouTube Premium, which includes access to original programming on the platform and the ability to download videos while removing ads.

Does YouTube block ads on other sites?

YouTube is now using a technology that prevents consistent ad blocking in videos on mobile devices. This only impacts YouTube. The majority of ads should be blocked on most other sites you visit. Are you seeing ads only on YouTube or do you see ads on other sites too?

How do I block YouTube ads?

Better yet, set up a local DNS server (such as Pi-Hole) and block them on your whole network. They'll have to self-host the ads if they want around this measure. And under the same www.youtube.com hostname at that, so that you can't block the ad host without blocking the host you want to connect to.
