There's an ad blocker in Chrome that's bloody brilliant. It shuts down all the crap YT slings at you ad-wise.

You can also use the Brave browser. It is a browser based on Chrome, with the ad blocking tools baked into it. Very nice at blocking ads.

I'm glad you said that as it reminds me that I have the installer in temporary folder on my desktop. Doug recommended it to me and I had completely forgotten about it.

I switched from Firefox to Brave a while back and am quite happy with it. I also use the Adblock Plus extension with it.

NP.

There's actually two in Chrome - Fair Adblocker, and Adblocker for YouTube. I use both. The former blocks most shite on normal web pages (e.g. news sites which always seem to have 6000 ads in them), and the latter of course is super effective with YT.
