With millions of users every day, YouTube is unquestionably the most popular video sharing and hosting platform. Equipped only with an Internet connection and a supported device, you can watch several hours of music, TV programs, movies, and many more, free of charge.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since YouTube gets millions of viewers every day, it\u2019s an excellent place for digital ads. Businesses invest heavily in YouTube ads to advertise their products and services, which are displayed before, during, and after a video\u2019s runtime. But sometimes, these advertisements can be very annoying!<\/span><\/p>\n

These ads also track your personal activity online. Soon as you click on an ad, it records your details and indicates your interest in that item or service. And therefore, they\u2019ll keep you sending similar ads. This way, they can breach your\u00a0<\/span>privacy<\/span><\/a>\u00a0and manipulate the quality of your browsing experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Can I Block Ads on YouTube for Android?<\/b><\/h3>\n

Now, you could purchase a YouTube Premium subscription to get rid of ads. Even if YouTube Premium isn\u2019t available in your area (a common problem), you could use a\u00a0<\/span>VPN and connect to a server<\/span><\/a>\u00a0in a supported location to sign up for the service.<\/span><\/p>\n
