Best way to block YouTube ads?

Is there any way to block ads on YouTube?

I don't know about your experience, but on my end, every single video starts with an ad that I can't even skip for at least 5 seconds. It’s the same story mid-video too; if it’s a longer clip, I get hit with several more of those damn commercials. Honestly, it's just aggressive and incredibly annoying. Is there a fix?

Thanks

Adblock Plus

Took it off. Now we wait and see...

Thanks 🙂

uBlock Origin.

Finally ditched Adblock Plus. It’s such a relief not to be constantly bombarded by mobile carriers, shopping malls, New Year sales, and insurance companies...

Much better now. Thanks.
