Getting around the ads on YouTube

Tip Tuesday! Add a hyphen after the t in a video's YouTube link, making it yout-ube. You'll be redirected to a new URL where the video fills the window, is presented without ads and suggested videos, and loops playback.

Nope. At first you-tube.com redirected to youtube.com. Then I inserted the safari and got “Safari can’t find the server.”

The ads on YT are getting worse and worse. I think I’ll NEVER stay at a VRBO vacation rental because their ads are SO annoying.

I just use the Brave browser (including on my phone). No YT ads (no Rumble ads to boot).

Whoops, dumb me cannot follow simple instructions.
I tried you-tube, not yout-ube as you instructed.
It works! Yay!

This is an amazing tip. It seems to work for me. The URL address bar also changes to "youtube-nocookie.com..."

I wonder if YouTube will close that little loophole.

I get a free WordPress.com account, go into code view, simply paste in the simple shared web link, I mostly use it for long free classical music videos, I guess the Wordpress owner Automattick is at war with the owners of YouTube, anyway, I never see ads

Check out the “YouTube Vanced” app if you have Android. It works great on my phone.

Someone already told twitter-verse. Icing on the donut! Dems now face state NJ Senate defeat at hands of TRUCKER who spent just $153 of his $10,000 GOP donations on campaign (and $66 of that was at Dunkin!)🙂
