My 10 years old son asked me a few days ago "Dad, is there any way I can get rid of these ads I keep seeing all the time on YouTube?".

I answered that he could use Firefox instead of chrome (I've already configured Firefox on his laptop account with ublock origin).

He was reluctant at first to use Firefox rather than chrome but it seems getting rid of ads was a compelling enough advantage that he did use it eventually.

You could have replied that you don't consider his request worth 18UKP per month for a YouTube Premium family suscription

Interesting, it's also 18 dollars per month in the US for a Youtube premium family subscription.

Doesn't that make it, with respect to exchange rates, 33% more expensive effectively in the UK for the same subscription? I've noticed this happens with videogames too, where the prices are always the same numerical value regardless of currency.

Chrome blocks Youtube ads, too, after you install Ublock Origin on it.
