I just found this website http://www.bleepy.nl which is somekind of Youtube search engine, its looses most of the ads, which is awesome if you ask me!
I'm so lazy Greg. You're right I should (probably even need) to use Adblock or uBlock as I'm a heavy user of YouTube. I don't have an account .... gave up on the one I had a long time ago when they started to get proprietary at the stage where Google took it over. Maybe one day I'll try and resurrect it if I feel that way.Gregoric said:You should check Adblock or uBlock out, #Genesis. It's a great thingy to clean your browsing experience off all the ad stuff. However, you might consider to unblock adverts on different sites owned by private people (some blogs, personal websites) that have ads - these people earn money thanks to people watching these ads. I do it this way.
And for Youtube - ad blocking software helps a lot as well; especially when it comes to the playlists, ou are not disturbed with an advertisement during playing a playlist.
I am not sure what do you mean by not having an account. Using both AdBlock Plus and uBlock is just a matter of installing the addon into your browser. You might then go into options and uncheck a field that says "allow acceptable* ads" and that's it.Genesis said:I'm so lazy Greg.

I've read my post again and I 'd like to clear one thing out: what I meant by "I do it this way" is not that I earn money via ads (not yet), but that I tend to turn off uBlock on various non-corporate, charity or similar websitesGregoric said:I do it this way.
