I see so many posts complaining about ads but never enough posts about using an Ad Blocker. These take a minute to setup, cost nothing, and don't require you to spend time maintaining them. Let's make the internet/YouTube usable again!

Desktop Browser

Safari: AdGuard (free tier is fine)
Firefox: uBlock origin
Chrome: uBlock origin

Mobile Browser

Safari (iOS): AdGuard (free tier is fine)
Firefox (Android): uBlock Origin.
1. Open Firefox
2. 3 dot menu in upper right corner
3. Tap Add-ons
4. Tap the + icon next to "uBlock Origin"
5. Tap Add
6. Tap Okay, Got it
