There are tricks and tips that will help you avoid the ads altogether and enjoy your favourite video without any interference in between.

Here's how you can block ads on YouTube:

• Go to YouTube, select the video you want to watch

• Add the period (.) to the URL after YouTube.com

• So, by adding the full stop to the URL, YouTube doesn't normalise the hostname, and there isn't a hostname match. Now the page will be divided into two parts, one where the page will deliver the content to the user, another where it doesn't show ads, cookies, or Cross-origin resource sharing (CORS).
