Open Vivaldi on Tablet, enable Tracker, Manage Sources, Enable EastList, no ads.

good way to make sure I never buy your product.

If the ads starts running too long I just hit the back button or close the window and go look for something else to watch.

That’s crazy. I’m seeing as long as 15 seconds ads and considering no longer wasting my time on YouTube

YouTube premium is so overpriced for a single user. Family however, dam that shits a deal when you take advantage of it.

I already deleted the app from my phone once they introduced modal overlay ads that you have to dismiss

Duckduckplayer ftw

On my tv I can keep closing the ad and re-opening the video until I get a 5 second ad or no ads at all!

Usually takes less than 30 seconds, instead of watching a minute long video.

Works with ads in the middle of the video too, you just need to skip to where you were after.

Yeah, Though I don't see ADs myself as I use Ad blockers, my friends do and they told me how bad it is. It was bad before with 60 second ADs, and now, its worse.
