If you don't have a Premium YouTube subscription, you already know that the ads on the platform seem to be getting longer and far more frequent. Even worse in my opinion, is that the ads seem less skippable these days.
But as someone who isn't ready to have yet another streaming subscription, I've just discovered there's a new option.
Privacy-focused browser maker DuckDuckGo has introduced built-in YouTube ad blocking for its browser, allowing users to watch most YouTube videos without seeing ads. Unlike traditional browser extensions, the feature is integrated directly into the browser itself, giving users another way to avoid ads as support for some older ad blockers continues to disappear.
