But one that Google will surely patch at some point is to put a period after the youtube domain in the URL .

That's it .

So if your URL looks like this , you'll want to add in a period right after the end of youtube dot com .

So your new URL would look like this .

As I said , I just tested this trick on a random video that fired up a video at every single time I launched it in a new browser , placing a period after the dot com didn't summon and add no matter how many times I tried it , removing that period and going back to the regular URL brought the ads back .

This trick only works on the desktop version of youtube .

So you'll have to request that version of the site on your mobile browser browser .

If you're trying to view videos on your phone .

I'm a fan of enhancer for youtube which works well and has a pretty easy to navigate configuration screen .

There are plenty of these kinds of extensions out there .

But I've always preferred the simplicity of enhancer for youtube .

Perhaps I'm overly suspicious , but I tend to er r on the side of fewer extensions having access to what I'm doing on the web than more outside of that .

Remember that a revenue partially helps your favorite creators keep doing what they do , add blockers and this trick take away those resources .

The proper way of no longer seeing ads is to subscribe to youtube premium , which you might already know since the youtube app relentlessly badges people about it with maddening frequency .

Another way to block ads on youtube is to install youtube Advanced on your phone , youtube VD eliminates virtually all youtube ads .
