Tips for watching YouTube without ads, even non-tech people can do it

Long gone are the days when YouTube only ran one ad. More and more, the platform allows for multiple ads. If you are also a person who watches movies on YouTube like me, you must be extremely "obsessed" with a series of ads from "online doctors" in recent times.

Although YouTube is known to be one of the effective advertising channels and advertising revenue is an important source of income, offensive ads or too many ads make viewers extremely uncomfortable. Therefore, most users, including me, are looking for ways to block ads on YouTube.

Below is the way to watch YouTube without ads that I have applied, you can refer to:

Method 1: Install an additional Ad Blocking extension

One of the most effective ways to block ads on YouTube is to use an extension. These extensions will typically block ads on both YouTube and all other websites.

Installing extensions is one of the popular ways to block ads when watching YouTube.

To use, you need to download these extensions to your device and then integrate them into the browser you are using. However, there are currently countless ad-blocking extensions on the market. In addition, the integration process into the browser is not easy. Please research carefully to choose the extension that best suits your needs.

Method 2: Install VPN

The next way to get rid of ads when watching YouTube is to install a VPN and then subscribe to YouTube Premium. This is a service released by YouTube.

YouTube Premium is not currently available in the Vietnamese market.

The reason you have to install VPN before registering for the service is because purchasing Premium accounts has not been implemented in Vietnam. If you want to own a Premium account, you must transact through an intermediary to pay for that account. And of course, you will have to pay a fee if you use the service.

Method 3: Using Coc Coc browser

Cốc Cốc is a web browser and search engine for Vietnamese people with over 29 million users. It is also the second most used browser in Vietnam.

This browser has an Ad Blocking feature, which actively filters out ads that are potentially harmful and annoying to users, such as: oversized ads, ads that take up the entire screen; auto-playing videos... Particularly with the latest version on mobile, Coc Coc also has the ability to remove all types of hidden ads. Thanks to that, your videos or websites will load faster, helping to save more time.

In addition to blocking ads, one thing I really like about Coc Coc is the ability to watch Youtube even when the screen is off (picture-in-picture feature) which is extremely convenient. This feature allows the video to be displayed in a small frame or only play sound in the background when the screen is locked. Besides, I can also flexibly adjust the video viewing mode (play/pause, fast forward/backward, change song or skip sound) easily on Coc Coc.

Good news for those who are not "savvy" with technology is that the browser is completely free and the features are already integrated. Just download and access Coc Coc, your device from computer to mobile will automatically eliminate the worry of advertising.
