Arguably, pre-roll YouTube ads are the biggest annoyance of today’s internet. In December 2012, 23 percent of all videos had ads attached to them, and 182 million US citizens watched them. If you are one of these people wasting precious time on YouTube ads, we are here to help. All YouTube ads can be removed within a few seconds.
Adblock Plus is one of the easiest and the most effective solution against YouTube ads. It is a cross-browser extension, available for Chrome, Firefox, Opera and Android. Also, it is multi-functional: it blocks annoying ads all over the Web (including YouTube) and it can be configured to disable tracking or block social media buttons. Most importantly, Adblock Plus filters are supported by a large community, which means that the database of blockable ads will be always up-to-date.
To install Adblock Plus and remove all ads from YouTube, follow these simple steps:
- Go to Adblock Plus website
- Press the green “Download” button and install the extension for your browser.
- Enjoy YouTube without annoying ads, and save your time and patience!
Note. If you wish to block ads only on YouTube, you can easily whitelist any other website using Adblock Plus.

Stealing revenue? How are we stealing? We don’t gain any money from blocking the ads. It simply gives us an ad free YouTube experience.

I make money looking at ads, so I don’t really mind them. In fact I get some good ideas for my own ads by looking at the ones the pros throw at me.
