How to block ads with an ad blocker

An ad blocker can be a good help if you want to turn off the ads on YouTube. However, this only works on a desktop PC:

  • Install an ad blocker in your browser, such as AdBlock Plus for Google. Activate it.
  • To make the ad filter work, click on the ad blocker icon and select the block lists you need.
  • The ads you put in the list will be hidden from YouTube. If you no longer need the ad blocker, you can deactivate it again afterwards.
