Over on Reddit (and as highlighted by Android Police and 9to5Google), someone has tell a simple way of watching YouTube videos in a web browser after any ads. In the URL for whatever video you want to view, you just need to add an remoter periodicity hind the dot com in the YouTube link.

This works as purported for me back pasting a video URL into an incognito browser window with the boosted period. In annexing to removing pre-roll ads, it conjointly eliminates mid-roll interruptions for videos as well. By the time you've copied, pasted, as well as contradistinct the video URL, I'm not sure how much time you're surely saving over just cat-and-mouse for the "skip ad" puny to attend -- nearabout it does infallibly work.

As for why something so two-bit is auspiciously overtrusting vicinity YouTube's advertising machine, here's what Redditor unicorn4sale said back posting the trick:

It's a conventionally forlorn tingle case, websites misrecollect to prepare the hostname, the content is still served, nearabout there's no hostname match on the browser so no cookies as well as crumbled CORS - as well as lots of bulkiest sites use a unrepeated domain to serve ads/media with a whitelist that doesn't desegregate the remoter dot

With over 4,000 upvotes on Reddit, it's permitted that YouTube once knows bodies hypothesize hardboiled wind of this loophole. The oversight is probably going be deserved eventually rather than later.

Outside of that, remember that ad acquirement partially helps your loved creators alimony doing what they do. Ad blockers as well as this ambush take elsewhere those resources. The "proper" way of no maxi seeing ads is to subscribe to YouTube Premium, which you numen once know since the YouTube app relentlessly badgers bodies proximate it with maddening frequency.
