YT ads are intrusive like with TV. You can't skip most them easily anymore like you can scroll and skip sponsored Google Search results.


Firefox and ublock origin... no ads. I avoid youtube on my mobile device as it's a lot more difficult to control the ads there.


NewPipe[0] is a client for YouTube on mobile. It's available on F-Droid and it hides the ads.

There are some forks floating around which also include SponsorBlock, but I haven't tested them yet.
