[Opera] Remove annoying YouTube ads with YouTube AdsFree

September 20, 2012 3 Email article | Print article

If you’re tired of YouTube ads blocking the bottom of your videos while watching through your playlists, then YouTube AdsFree is for you.

As the name indicates, YouTube AdsFree blocks ads on YouTube videos. As you can see from the screenshot to the right, no ad! It also has a feature that blocks all ad servers – this is something I don’t actually like, because it not only blocks YouTube ads and annoying pop ups and pop-unders, but it also blocks Google Adsense ads, which I sometimes like to see – and not just because I have a widget for them on my site.

Other than that, though, this add-on is a quick install that can get rid of quite a few little headaches around the web – and cause a few for people who rely on things like Adsense as a form of income. Personally, I turned the “block all ad servers” off but, hey, the choice is up to you.

    That’s the simple method I’ve ever found to block you tube ADS:

    No plugin or code needed, ad is “cross platform”, from Mac, to linux to handheld devices! ;)
