Funny, today I woke up and first thing install ABP for the first time in my life, because google will not let me fall asleep to soothing documentaries without obnoxious ads rolling every two minutes because their algos figured out im not there to skip them.

Then I see this and im just even more confident in that decision.

Newpipe is pretty good.

I've been using YouTube Vanced on my Android. I tried NewPipe, but was not impressed with it. Then I went to Vanced not because of the ads, but the looping functionality (which is disabled now for some time) and it's been a great experience so far.

Have you considered trying uBlock Origin?

[notRobot]

I second this recommendation. uBO is much better.

In my view uBlock Origin is the gold standard in ad blockers.

[cannedslime]

I didnt consider anything, I just searched for ad blocker first thing this morning and took what seemed like the popular choice. I'll try uBlock now, what is the difference in regards to user experience?

Ublock origin is nice that it prevents you from page redirects to known tracking websites. I first found out about that with slickdeals.

The one thing I still haven't figured out how to use with it is the zapper. Adblock plus' "zapper" just worked and always prevented that pop up or whatever from showing. Ublock just stops it from showing again after you do it after the page load. Then it'll pop up again.

uBlock's zapper is just for deleting elements once. If you want to remove something permanently, use the picker.

Thank you! Imo they should really change the icons for that cause when I see that, it looks like I want to take the color of the thing, not remove something completely.

have you considered paying for YT premium? Its great for watching with no ads. I started paying once I discovered Event Horizon, What The Math? and Space Time Channels. I then discovered Mixtape Magic for old school mixtapes to listen to while working. All in all, one of the subscriptions that bring the most value.
