Are you fed up with the multitude of ads injected into Youtube videos these days?

It’s getting pretty annoying isn’t it?

Well here's a Classic browser macro that you can add to your macro menu that will instantly play the video full screen and with no ads… because a user-programmable browser has the answer to EVERY problem that websites may present either now or in the future!

MEDIA - Play Youtube video with no ads
HEAD
L=W.contentWindow.document.location.toString();

if(L.indexOf('www.youtube.com')===-1){Message('This macro is for Youtube only!');} else {

L=L.replace('https','http').replace('watch?v=','v/'); W.style.backgroundColor='black';

W.srcdoc='<title>Ad-less Video</title><iframe type="text/html" width="'+(W.offsetWidth-20)+'" height="'+(W.offsetHeight-20)+'" src="'+L+'" frameborder="0"></iframe>';
}

NB: If you're not clear about how to use user macros ask here and/or read through this page...

Did you know that Mozilla, Vivaldi, and Opera are not getting these ads?

That is without any configuration. I love watching YouTube, and haven't seen an add since I can't remember when.

I’d like to see it to believe it Paphitis… because there has to be a logical explanation to everything, and let’s just say that making sense out of technical things isn’t your strong point!


ie: I wouldn't be surprised if you can't recognize that an ad has kickstarted half way through the video! You'd probably think it's part of the video...

I don't know mate.

Opera has its own ad blocker and blocks everything - and no YouTube adds either.

Mozilla - which is much improved and a great little browser these days needs configuring and blocks all adds. I use uBlock Origin. but it seems to block YouTube adds too.

Vivaldi - I also use uBlock origin and it blocks everything too.

These are my favourite browsers right now.

I virtually get a lot of my news and opinion from YouTube. I have my channels which I monitor regularly.

I don't get adds in the beginning, half way through or the end. haven't seen an add like ever.

No mate I have not.

I subscribe to NetFlix, Stan and have a USA sub to Hulu through a VPN I pay for and can handle the download speeds.

I also get all the Cyprus and Greek channels via Kodi.

I have so much access to so much content, and can't watch it all.

Here's a link that appears to have 8 ads at my end... you can see 8 little yellow dashes on the progress bar.

Why don't you open this link in your browser and capture the screen and paste here so I can see for myself that you don't have any.

Not a single add my end and no yellow or red lines on the timeline counter either - where the adds play. I do know what you mean, but not a single add scheduled in this YouTube my end.

And this applies to Mozilla, Vivaldi and Opera.

I have found the answer why.

Opera blocks everything out of the box with its inbuilt blocker.

uBlock Origin blocks everything for Mozilla and Vivaldi.

I am such a cool cat!

Sorry, I can’t just take your word for it.

Well you should mate.

Not a single add and I can send you screen shots if you want.

Opera blocks out of the Box.

uBlock origin Blocks for Mozilla and Vivaldi.

Believe me! If I see one YouTube add, then its a deal breaker for me. If I couldn't get rid of them, I would have paid for a subscription.
