  1. I almost always respond to these. Mainly because I want you to keep sending them. This time you tube wouldn't allow me to watch it because I now have an ad blocker. I like the ad blocker a lot. Just wanted you to know why I didn't respond.

    1. I understand, but you know you can turn your adblocker off, right? Just click the icon and go from there.
      If you ever do find an adblocker that works on youtube, let me know.

    2. I have brave browser and its adblocker, but YouTube slows things down in that case. Videos will play, but it takes forever for pages to load at YT.

    3. I was wondering how Brave worked out.

    4. I hate all the ads on YouTube videos. Fortunately, there's a fix that I've found to work extremely well! The DuckDuckGo browser (duckduckgo.com) has an ad-free YouTube player. From the DuckDuckGo Help Pages: "Duck Player is a free YouTube player built in to the DuckDuckGo browser for Mac, Windows, iOS and Android that lets you watch YouTube without targeted ads and keeps what you watch from influencing your YouTube recommendations.‌‌"

      No more having to wait for annoying ads to play through before a YT video starts playing or playing ads intermittently while you're trying to watch a video. It just plain works!
