I don't get ads on youtube. I didn't even realize they had ads until over a year into them having them because I use https://adblockplus.org

Install plug in update filters and never see another video ad on youtube again.

Honestly, YouTube is unwatchable without ABP... don't know how people do it :p

Adblock Edge is a great alternative to Adblock plus. Adblock plus allows ads that are willing to pay Adblock to be on an "acceptable ads" list. Adblock Edge blocks EVERYTHING.

Oooh thx for this thread. I fkn HATE ads.

Heh, I haven't seen an ad on the internet in so many years I almost forgot they existed.

Considering you can apply any filter you want I don't accept this claim. Just download 3rd party lists which everyone should be doing. These databases are not maintained by adblock plus. You can manually block anything you want anyways.:D

ABP is such a beautiful thing~
Helps a LOT with porn...

iv been using ABP for a week now (since blk's suggestion) and its great! thanks. It is like night and day difference. I don't see very many options such as loading custom lists though.

Also I notice a lot of sites are ABP-aware (even p1999) and some will even do shit to make you disable ABP, like block the video. Would alternative programs work in those cases? Ones less used where sites won't be coded to battle it?
