    Do you have a Chromecast? Install “smarttube” instead. It strips out all ads, and even has sponsor block built in so it skips sponsor stuff in video.

      Can’t believe I hadn’t heard of this. Would always cast from my ad-blocked PC. But now I can use this - Thanks!

        I don’t know, I use uBlock Origin for Chrome (not sure if there are equivalents for other browsers) and I never see adds from my desktop, with a free account.

        It does not scrap out sponsor babble but it definitely blocks youtube adds.

          Pretty sure OP and others above are talking about from smart enabled media devices like Amazon firestick or google’s equivalent chromecast (a hardware device you plugin to your tv, not the chromecast capability.

      Thanks for this comment. I just set this up on my Chromecast HD and it works incredibly well. I may just cancel YouTube premium now!
